Love this Room
- Bring texture to a muted scheme with wall cladding – vertical panels are easy to install and, in a small space, could just be added to a feature wall.
- Use worn, rustic wood in a rich colour on furniture or fl ooring to add depth and texture – try walnut or mahogany shades as a contrast to pastel hues.
- Add a personal touch with a gallery wall of prints and family photos – intermingled with empty vintage frames for a quirky effect.
- Choose open shelving for a sophisticated way to display crockery and dining essentials, and use reclaimed oak crates to house smaller items.
