Go With the Flow

This month's style tip focusses on soft ombre stripes, impressionist brushstrokes and painterly effects. Think soft metallics with splashes of lime green and turquoise - fun luxury!



Zoffany, Town and Country, 'Folio Linen'


Harlequin, Impasto, 'Giverny'

To add a dreamy serene feel to your bedroom, go with the current trend of papering all of your walls, in Zoffany's new 'Folio Linen' from the Town and Country wallpapers collection, coming to Sasha Interiors Monday! With its subtle metallic sheen and pop of colour, you'll stay up to date without being over the top. For a bolder interpretation of this month's style tip, have a sofa covered in Harlequin's 'Giverny' from the new Impasto range. The expressive brushstrokes will give a handmade homely feel without going down the vintage route. Try pairing your wallpaper or fabric with washed wood effect furniture to create a contrast in textures. To really make the most of this style tip, mix and match subtle patterns in different tones of the same colour, creating a flow of textures and palettes. (All of the above fabric and furniture is available from Sasha Interiors, Hereford.)

Personalise it!

Create your own shelves or coffee table from wine crates, or add pieces of drift wood for a soft natural touch.

Experiment with:
  • Trims! Multi-coloured pom poms or beaded trims will add a fun arts and crafts feel
  • Picture frames - create your own paint effects in coordinating colours, stipple, wash, sponge and rag roll your way to a unique feature!
