Warm & Cosy Textures

To secure a welcoming homely feel, choose warm and cosy textiles. For those who favour plenty of visual depth, opt for accent pieces in mohair, wool and sheepskin fabrics to bring texture into the home. This may include throws, cushions and rugs and it’s recommended to mix and match the fabrics for subtle dimension, especially if you’re choosing one colour group to work with.

When selecting blankets or throws, adopt neutral tones of grey, natural textures, and muted hues, like pale purple and pink with cool undertones. These shades are timeless and versatile, so can be transitioned to match your future refurbishments and restyling.

Quality is Key

Scandinavian designs continue to trend among bloggers and interior enthusiasts. The great thing about a minimalist style is the opportunity it gives to experiment with accent pieces and features in your décor. The simple aesthetic of your space will enhance the stand out features and for a truly luxurious look, focus on the quality of the accent pieces.

Metals Hues

Embellish your doors and cabinets with high-quality hardware to showcase your attention to detail. Choose door handles in the champagne satin chrome finish with a touch of polished chrome for its’ unique and high-end aesthetic in contemporary homes. The gentle curve of the lever offers comfort in hand whilst the rounded corners of the square rose appears soft and subtle.

Alternatively, you may choose to match the grey tones of your small furnishings with the door handle. In this case, choose the duo black and polished chrome finish door handle for its exclusive and distinctive appearance.

Consider the legs and circumference rim of your coffee table by choosing a metal hue to match your door hardware. The continuity of tones in both metal and non-metal elements throughout the property will showcase your consideration and meticulousness.

Impress your guests and family members with elegant cabinet handles that feature a smooth bow design completed with a highly reflective polished chrome finish. When light floods through your windows on bright sunny days, the reflective surface of the cabinet handles will cause the beams to bounce off and further reflect off the internal white walls, giving the effect of a larger space.

Plants

Whilst artificial plants look appealing, they only offer an aesthetic benefit and there a many low-maintenance alternatives to living house plants that can withstand all types of neglect from dull winter days.
