Decoding Living Rooms  

Slap bang in the middle of Design School with a lovely bunch of people who are on lunch break so I’m sneaking out to spend a second on decoding living rooms.

Why do some work and some don’t? What’s the trick? How do you make them stylish, comfy and not at all museum like?

Let me tell.

From all my years in the biz I will try in a nutshell to break down the most memorable ones I have seen and why they work.

Now I mentioned this the morning but if you super size something in a room, say a painting, a lamp, a mirror it will automatically change the feel of the space and elevate it to a level you can hardly believe. It’s a game changer I promise you.

Pattern is key, pattern is like a herb every room needs pattern in small doses in big doses it doesn’t matter how much you add just add. Cushions, wallpaper, rugs, the odd vase whatever it takes.
