Woodland Tranquility

This month's style tip is about embracing the winter months and adding a calm and cosy atmosphere to your home. It's also a great way to incorporate Christmas into your rooms with subtlety...

Bakari - Harlequin

Bakari - Harlequin



Why not swap your summer floral curtains for a pair of heavy floor grazing winter curtains with a forest tree or mushroom print like the fabric above from Harlequin? (All of the above fabric is available from Sasha Interiors, Hereford)

or...

Pearsonalise it!

To keep up with this trend on a budget try some woodland scatter cushions or a throw to curl up with on cold nights. To really get the most of this style add some rustic wooden ornaments or furniture (this style works beautifully in a timber framed room!) and bring it up to date with a Stag canvas print. Keep the sophistication of your room by using neutral colours, cool blues and soft browns. Bring your home to life with an open fire and you're ready for the winter months.

Experiment with:

• Christmas decorations in December to add a touch of glamour - baubles suspended from the ceiling will add a modern twist whilst wreaths, greenery and berries will create a traditional homely feel but both are equally as stylish this month
• Touches of gold to lift the room - through beaded trims or candles

Hint of Geometry

This month's style tip is all about geometry. Bold linear shapes can give your home a contemporary twist and give a great alternative to the classic stripes and checks.

Lalika Harlequin

Arkona Harlequin



Create a feature with a striking geometric wallpaper or an impressive floor length set of patterned curtains.

or...

Personalise it!

Keep your room's simplicity and add gemoetric accents such as the above cushion made with Arkona fabric from Harlequin. (All of the above fabric is available from Sasha Interiors.) As an alternative and an elegant way of introducing geometrics, how about combining these striking designs with a touch of floral delicacy? This could also be a great compromise for you and your partner! A subtle colour palette will ensure the room doesn't become overpowering.

Experiment with:

• A monochrome scheme - for a classic, easy to coordinate room
• Trims - to soften the harsh lines
