Top Design Tips for Spring/Summer 2008
Planning the Space
It may seem obvious, but stop look and consider the space. From moving or redecorating the layout of a room is key. Check it’s not too cluttered and the scale and position of furniture.
Colour Schemes
Be careful not to throw in too many colours especially too many patterns and florals this spring. One great ‘staring’ colour will lead the show and the other colours or pattern sits with this.
Flooring
This is the drama of any home, going for wood, wide wood boards, white or oyster washed is timeless and fresh. If faced with lower budgets, I can’t get enough of Altro polished resin floors.
Walls
Keep them subtle, linen walls are great this year; head straight to stereo. Or edgier go lacquer. If you have an awkward wall, creating a feature makes such a punch. Take an image and see 55max.
Fabric
This year is all about bringing style outdoors. For furniture go to B&B Italia, also check out the Robert Spurway’s Sutherland outdoor collection. Donghia has such incredible outdoor fabrics from cool greys to outdoor leathers.
Favourite
Still love the Minx chair and Amy Somerville Scott’s collection. However, Poliform and B&B are looking great.
Lolli and Memoli are just incredible for lighting sensations and fabrics at Neisha Crosland, Donghia, Kravet and Lelievre are delicious.
