Flights of Fancy

Swooping swallows and delicate feathers winging their way from Sanderson's new Aegean collection bring us the focus of this month's style tip. Think of warm yellows and olive greens to welcome Autumn. 

Sanderson 'Song Birds' fabric

Sanderson - 'Themis' wallpaper

Welcoming nature into your home, these fabrics and wallpapers are bound to create a serene atmosphere. For a delicate injection of our feathered friends, try adding some elegant curtains in Sanderson's timeless Song Birds fabric. For a more dramatic style, add a feature wall and paper any alcoves in Sanderson's Themis wallpaper, the bright pops of colour will bring the room to life, without being too overpowering. To compliment the scheme, add sheer linen curtains and a vase of peacock feathers. Highlight the accent colours with trendy coloured glass light fittings. Keep other furniture in the room light or translucent where possible; a glass coffee table, wirework stools or a natural weave fabric on your three piece suite.

Personalise it!

Frame photos of your garden or snaps of birds from your last trip to the zoo in a multi view photo frame. 

Experiment with:

• Creating your own masterpiece (no skill required!) Drag watercolour paint across wet paper in your accent colours to create washy, blended strokes which highlight the accent hues of the room.
• Carefully choose a warm yellow spray paint and rejuvenate unwanted vases, or charity shop finds, to tie them in with your new room. For a modern twist, mask off the top half to create a dip dye effect.
