The thoughtful placement of mirrors in the home is one of the best-kept secrets of the interior designer. Double the light in your entrance hall, living room or hallway or place above a chest of drawers or bathroom vanity to aid your daily grooming. Moreover, choosing a mirror that evokes the style of your interior design scheme is an opportunity often overlooked. A light frame in silver or white sits perfectly with other Hamptons homewares, with extra points for a round shape to offset all those rectangles.

Key features:

• Resin construction on an MDF base for easy care

Another secret weapon in decorating your home is to add different-sized cushions when styling your bed or sofa. A rectangular cushion looks particularly good as part of the mix against a pair of standard pillows, as it mimics the proportions of your sofa when placed at the front square cushion(s) at one end. L-shaped sofas are also a great candidate for a rectangular feature cushion and, as this one is available in 12 different colours, you have endless combinations at your fingertips.

Key features:

• 100% hand-dyed linen
• Matching linen throws are available
• Dimensions: 35 x 55cm
