Just like your favourite pair of jeans, this on-trend indigo scheme is stylish yet easy-going.

 

 

Love this living room

• Soft voiles add a dreamy look to windows, without blocking out the sun.

• This fashionable fabric is not only a wardrobe staple: use deep shades in light rooms or faded tones in smaller spaces.

• Blue can appear chilly, so be sure to include welcoming walnut and tactile linen.

• Add extra interest and some warmth underfoot with a thick, abstract rug.

• Indigo is a good choice for large sofas as it can help them appear less bulky.

 

Good Idea

Use a streamlined bench against a wall to display artwork, throws and cushions.

 

Styling Tip

Combine artisanal fabrics, like ikat, batik and hand-printed Indian cottons, as they naturally feature inky tones.

 

Expand Space

Cool colours will help to make small corners appear bigger.
