THEODA SOLMS ILES: Interiors and event stylist, writer and blogger Seasonal switch: “Getting


bored with your living or bedroom? Change your cushions and rug seasonally. Update your rooms with pretty summery cushions in linens and cottons for your summer look, and replace them in the colder months with velvets, weaves and woollen cushions. Don’t stress about where to store the extra set, use the same cushion inners, ideally feather-filled pads, for both summer and winter sets, this way you only end up having to s tore the cushion covers, nicely folded up with the rest of your linen. “Te same can be done with a floor rug, especially now that flatware rugs are so trendy, they roll or fold up pretty small and can be stored under a bed or in the back of a cupboard, and the difference a seasonal rug change makes, is priceless,” she adds.


AURELIEN FARJON: Prop stylist and set designer Picture play: “If you want


to create an arrangement of different picture frames on the wall, cut sheets of paper the size of the picture frames and stick those out on the wall first with Blu-Tack. Tis will allow you to test and try different heights. It will also allow you to step back and decide if it’s correct before drilling into the wall. Make sure the paper is a different enough colour to the wall - for example, brown paper on light walls, white paper on dark walls.”
