Style idea

Add pops of

colour with quirky

accessories in a

white scheme

Family area
‘The scheme for this area was
inspired by the black and white
polar bear print – I usually design
most of my rooms around a piece of
artwork! Most of our furniture is from
eBay or Facebook Marketplace. Our
dining table with four chairs and two
grandfather chairs was £200 from
eBay, which we upcycled. We spend
all our meal times in here and we
love entertaining when friends and
family come to stay – it’s such
a welcoming and sociable space.’

‘My two-seater sofa from Ikea in the family area is

really comfy and I love sitting here reading with

Conrad and looking out into the garden’

Chloe made

use of the large

unused fireplace

and found a

white storage

basket to fit

perfectly in the

space which is

filled with toys,

and a faux plant

on top to add

some colour and

texture to the

black and white

scheme in the

family space.

She’s made sure

that there is

plenty of storage

in this area to

hide away all of

the bits and bobs.

The gallery wall is

full of the couple’s

special moments

and rather than just

being a collection of

pictures, everything

has a sentimental feel

including some family

artwork and photos.

Using all white frames

creates a fully cohesive

look and blends into

the wall. The faux

animal head in

the middle of the

gallery wall creates

dimension and is an

interesting feature.
