Introduce subtle colour combinations with blocks of pink and charcoal grey, and team with textures such as linens, wools and pale washed woods for added interest. Update floors and accessories with a lick of paint and avoid tell tale brush marks by using quality products that are guaranteed to dry to a smooth, even finish.
Choose the softest of pinks for walls and offset with crisp white, cream and splashes of chrome. In bedrooms go for subtle chalky finishes, whilst in harder working areas, such as halls, opt for pure acrylic satins to give durability and add the subtlest of sheens.
Introduce patterning in the form of bold simplistic images, such as flower heads and leaves. Set this year’s accessories against clean, simple lines. Alternatively, make it personal with hand decorated fabrics or stencilled walls using match pots or fabric paints.
