Combined with a charcoal sofa and black Crittall-style framed windows this lush green feature wall looks ultra-chic and contemporary. Finish the look with layers of plush cushions as well as houseplants aplenty.
Wicker and rattan furniture is naturally chic and everywhere right now! Making its way in from the garden into our living rooms the natural cane material is hot, not just in seating but mirrors, light shades, coffee tables and planters. Use to add artistic texture to a stark background or team with an earthy palette and plenty of plants for a homely scheme.

Get creative by painting your living room with interesting shapes and patterns. This type of paint effect takes the popular two-tone trend to another striking level. Mask out different shapes and angles and paint in the blocks with contrasting and vivid colours for a fun and updated look. Finish the feature with a contemporary gallery wall of funky prints.
Japandi is a hot trend that blends Oriental zen with Scandi minimalism and is taking the interiors world by storm. To get the look in your living room choose soft tones like ivory, sand and buff and team with strong lines and natural textures for a Japanese-style living room that’s pale and interesting.
The vibrant velvet trend is giving way to more relaxed and informal colours and textures such as calming linen in modern living rooms. Continue the cocooning yet stylish look with oversized furniture and soothing colours.
Earthy tones such as terracotta, sand or beige are a key colour trend, allowing us to create living room schemes we want to settle into after a busy day. Team with natural wood, greenery and layered textures.
