HomeStyle UK – August 2019

Inspiring homes

What I learned...

l I’m not one for everything matching but I

tend to keep furniture very neutral – white,

grey or wood. That way you can add pieces

that complement each other in the same

colour palette to switch things up.

l We haven’t had much budget to work

with just a few hundred pounds per room,

so we’ve tried to work with what we have

knowing that we can change it later.

l When designing a room I tend to usually

start by pinning ideas on Pinterest to see

if there’s a pattern in what I’m liking. I like

to get the big purchases chosen first then

take my time with the smaller pieces.

Guest bedroom

‘I love pattern and texture and

based this room around the

patterned bed quilt, which

reflects my personality. I’ve also

placed one of my macramé wall

hangings above the bed. It’s

a bit of a work in progress as I

want something bigger on the

wall. I recently fitted the wire

shelf in the alcove as well as a

small leftover piece of wood to

create a small dressing table

for all my accessories.’

The large floral pattern towels from Ikea bring the

white bathroom to life and the inclusion of lots of

plants and foliage gives it a natural feel

Marble and gold
bedside lighting from
Dunelm works well in
the room, while simple
prints and plants
brighten up walls.
Hanging planters are
a great way to display
greenery without
cluttering up surfaces
and floor space.

Chloe tries to get as much storage

in her rooms, with under the bed being

a prime spot to keep everything neat,

tidy and hidden away
