An Orderly Fashion

The chaos of Christmas may leave you longing for a sense of order in your home. This month's style tip introduces Orla Kiely's new range of wallpapers released through Harlequin. Choose warm earthy neutral and brown tones along with cool duck egg blues to create a calm atmosphere enhanced by the clean, simple motifs.

Orla Kiely - 'Classic Stem'

Orla Kiely - 'Scribble'

Try Orla Kiely's 'Classic Stem' print on a feature wall or hang in alcoves to create a structured style. Combine with 'Scribble' to add texture in keeping with the linear feel. Add slimline furniture and simple rugs to avoid adding any chaos into the mix. Highlight your accent colour with a set of three vases or bowls in a row. Keep floorboards in dark wood to echo the retro feel of Orla Kiely's prints. (All of the above wallpapers are available from Sasha Interiors, Hereford.)

Personalise it!

Create an inspiration or to-do wall with rows of retro school clipboards placed in an orderly fashion and clip photos, lists or magazine cuttings to them.

Experiment with:

• Storage - create your own personalised storage by stacking various wine boxes or crates on top of each other.
• Floor lamps - giving the illusion of higher ceilings, floor lamps will open up the space, emphasising the sense of calm.
