Give your space a facelift with a few simple and easy ideas - by Madeleine Curby

Green thumb

Add an indoor plant to instantly give the room a new lease of life. Here, a Polypodium fern compliments the green tones in the furnishings.

Linen luxury

Mix floaty layers with heavy throws to add a sense of depth to your room and texture.

Wall art

Instead of the usual framed print, opt for a world map wallpaper. The soft furnishings have been matched to the different tones of yellow on the wallpaper for a cohesive, well-designed space.

Accent pieces

The design of the circular mirror reflects the style of the table, making it a stand out feature. Change up your furniture and move pieces around to create new looks, for example, a simple swap of your hallway and bedroom mirrors could make all the difference.

Pendant lighting

Opt for a statement piece to truly change the feel of your room. These pendants add interest to the space and create a lovely soft, fractured glow.

Variety is the spice of life

Use cushions as a way to inject colour and change up the decor. Repeat the same hues in other pieces, such as the red book on the coffee table, to ensure the room feels cohesive.

Add floor colour with a good-quality rug. Reflect the rooms colour scheme within the rug to create a seamless atmosphere.
