Create a cosy living room scheme with rustic touches
January 2, 2017
Relax into a cosy, autumnal scheme with natural textures, woodland motifs and warm burnt orange hues.
Love this living room
- Transforming your chimney breast with wooden-plank-style wallpaper is an easy way to create a focal point and ensure that neutral walls don’t appear too flat.
- Be bold and experiment with colour: choose textiles in a statement burnt sienna and contrast with accessories in a complementary sapphire blue.
Good Idea
Add texture to a plain linen sofa with a chunky-knit throw and brightly coloured cushions in decadent satin and velvet.
Styling Tips
Pick wall art and photo frames of diff erent heights and sizes and lean a selection against a wall, rather than hanging them up, for an informal mantelpiece display.
Utilise under-bench storage space with rattan and wooden boxes and suspend wire baskets from alphabet hooks for an inexpensive way to keep your hall tidy.

Add interest to a plain wall with an extra-large clock in on-trend copper.
