Floral bouquet

This season sees ever-popular ra ar er n ca e an re a n an n e n, a er n c r an e ra a an a ern n a n ance.

STYLE NOTES:

• Layer different scales, colours and patterns for a rich, busy look unified through use of floral design.

• Pick a hero colour to carry through designs – pink and plum are evident in many collections, along with favourites blue and green.

• Be brave and embrace largescale designs to make a striking style statement on expanses of wall or a feature of an upholstered piece.

Global taste

From kilims and suzanis to ikats and chinoiserie, an a r , h er can n ence an Persian patterns abound. Designs encapsulate techniques, designs and colours popular around the world, brought together in an eclectic but considered English style.

STYLE NOTES:

• Curate different patterns and influences within a palette of two or three colours, plus a grounding neutral.

• Rich, earthy terracottas, reds and browns contrasted with blues or greens work well for this look.

• Keeping walls plain allows for a layered approach with a variety of prints and weaves used for curtains, upholstery and cushions.
