If you’re looking for a pick-me up in a room you’ve decorated but feel needs something more, add one furniture item in a contrasting style.
Move your mind away from the style you have decorated your room with and choose a statement piece to include in the mix.
This can be as simple as bringing in a piece from another room – the juxtaposition of a contrasting style will pop in the room and add interest.
This is also a great way to include your favourite piece in a room it’s been otherwise banished from.
Make a statement with a distinctly art deco piece like this bench seat in an all-white airy entrance.
Bring a sharply upholstered bedhead into a rustic bedroom setting.
Hang an industrial lamp in a classically decorated bedroom.
A classic Eames lounge chair holds court in a Hamptons style study, whilst a brace of Eames moulded dining chairs with Eiffel base speak volumes around the dining table in the background.
Eames will always make a statement – here the moulded plastic chair sports dowel legs to tie back to rustic timber accessories.
A colourful and contemporary kids room gets a lift with a vintage tub chair, tufted with bright buttons.
