9/MIRRORS Not only practical, mirrors can also be used to make
spaces feel larger by refl ecting light. They’re now available in a range
of striking shapes and designs, like the cool round one pictured here.
10/BOOKS Do judge a book by its cover – they’re like artworks in
themselves. Select a few coffee table books that suit your scheme then
display them in piles. An easy update and a great talking point for guests.
11/ CUSHIONS Kookaburras, fl owers, stripes, tassels. Change your
cushions like you change your lipstick and play around with new colours
and shapes – it’s a small effort for a big visual reward. Note: fl oor cushions.
12 /ART WORKS Update art for an instant focal point. Oversized
photographic prints featuring industrial lines and architecture, like the one
pictured here, will add an element of contemporary edge to any style. RPANTONE®
