Transforming a space doesn’t have to cost the earth. With a few carefully chosen quality pieces, a creative and coordinated palette and some key investments you can create your dream room, no matter your budget. Here we share some of the guidelines we use when bringing together a room for our clients.

STEP ONE: Colour Palette

Playing with colour can be a great way to influence mood and enjoyment of a space. Careful consideration of a colour palette, highlight hues and colour combinations can lead to a space feeling current yet timeless, calming or energising. Select colours based on the room’s purpose, natural light and mood. And be careful when selecting an accent colour; the use of which should just be an accent, so it doesn’t dominate the room.

STEP TWO: Choose Impact

Invest in design features that impact. In store, we’ve created a cosy bedroom space with muted dark purple hues and warm neutral and gold tones to create a sense of sophistication and luxe cosiness that feels modern and timeless. We’ve done this by combining an artful La Aurelia wallpaper feature with textural interest and neutral Libeco bed linen and handcrafted Rom&an Creations feature pendant (available in store only) to warm up the space. With these three investments alone, the space is transformed. The lesson? Bring together high impact investments with your favourite pieces to create a space with style and personality.

STEP THREE: Invest Wisely

Furniture and accessories lift a room and provide an opportunity to inject your personal style into a space. Rather than feeling cramped and cluttered, the right combination of objects, art and furniture can create a sense of space, comfort and individuality. Invest in pieces you love with design that lasts. Combine the collected and cherished with that coveted new purchase to bring a sense of style and interest, setting the scene for years to come.
