“UPDATE YOUR ROOMS WITH PRETTY
SUMMERY CUSHIONS IN LINENS AND COTTONS FOR YOUR SUMMER LOOK.”
CASSANDRA LISA MARIE DOYLE Interior stylist and trend researcher
EMILY DAWE: Interior stylist, writer and craſt designer Colour co-ord: “If you have
a lot of books, grouping them together by colour can look really striking. You don’t have to necessarily create a whole rainbow, but by stacking all the blue books together, or all the green books etc, you will make your shelves look more uniform and it will create a real visual impact.” DIY style: “Create one of those expensive fluffy stools at a fraction of the price. It seems so simple, but if you get an inexpensive stool (if it has hairpin legs, then even better), attach a fluffy cushion to the top of it. You may need to use a circular cushion pad, then attach the excess fabric to the underside with a staple gun. And voila - chic on a shoestring!”
“FAKE FOLIAGE HAS MOVED ON A LONG WAY
FROM THE NAFF PLASTIC OF THE PAST AND IS NOW AMAZING AND REALISTIC.”
Do neutral with a twist: “Sage is becoming the new neutral, which works perfectly in a bedroom. Curate your space using a muted colour palette; use velvet for a statement soſt furnishing in trending emerald green or ochre,” suggests Cassandra Lisa Marie Doyle, whose work includes creating trend-led set design and sourcing props for photography and TV advertising.“Statement ceilings are a big trend this year,” she adds. “Paint the coving and ceiling above in a darker complementary colour to the walls, or be brave and go for a complete contrast. If you’re lucky enough to have high ceilings, you can do the reverse. Paint the ceiling, coving, and a foot or two below in crisp white and your walls stunning sage” Little details: “Try adding a picture shelf the full length of one wall, using oversized prints to add a sense of height. Group small accessories together in odd numbers, which will appear more pleasing to the eye”.
