Great British Picnic

Although the British weather is currently less than cheerful, this month's style tip is all about positive thinking within your home to encourage some glorious sunshine in the later months! Think parks, gingham and Great British animals. Steering clear of Union Jacks and Cupcakes, this tip shows you how to interpret the theme for all things British with a touch of sophistication.

Sanderson - 'Scotty'

Sanderson - 'Musette'

For a fun and quirky twist to a room, why not try Sanderson's 'Scotty' on accessories throughout the room - try foot stools, scatter cushions and doorstops for a nod of humour, whilst keeping that country farmhouse look. For a more subtle interpretation, try Sanderson's 'Musette' on a roman blind, bringing the fresh air of a picnic inside. Pair these fabrics with gingham for a cute contrast. Keep your colour palette in soft shades to avoid the look becoming twee. To make the most of this style tip expose the floor boards, keep accessories rustic and decorate your shelves with jam jars, coloured glassess and any essential picnic equipment! (All of the above fabric is available from Sasha Interiors, Hereford.)

Personalise it!

Keep bits and bobs in wicker hampers and go for an eclectic look with crockery; displaying mis-match items that you have collected or inherited over the years.

Experiment with: 

• Your own patchwork picnic blanket to double up as a throw - the more jumbled the better!
• Flowers from your garden - in vases, milk jugs or wine bottles, they are sure to freshen up your room with that meadow- sweet smell.

A Ray of Sunshine

As the sun has faded, this month's style tip is to encourage you to create your own shimmering light in your home with the introduction of some subtle metallics. Think luxe golds and bronzes, shining silvers and bold colours with a hint of sparkle.

Zoffany - 'Mosaic'

Harlequin - 'Iola'

To introduce a beach bronzed sparkle to your home, try two or more walls in Zoffany's 'Mosaic,' with its subtle sand like texture, its sure to have you reminiscing over your last holiday in the sun. For a bolder statement design, try a feature wall in Harlequin's 'Iola,' its berry laden branches just shout summer and will provide an escape from the drizzle outside. For a crisp look, offset the metallics against fresh white ceramics and natural materials. Earthy tiles will emphasise the metallic surface, whilst the key colours of the wallpaper can be highlighted in coordinating cushions and lampshades. (All wallpapers available from Sasha Interiors, Hereford.)

or...

Personalise it!

Spray paint seed heads and silk flowers in your chosen metallic colour to add a unique ornament. Update old photo frames in the same way, remembering simplicity is key to this look!

Experiment with:

• Lighting - highlighting the texture of your wallpaper with feature lighting will really make it shimmer!
• Rustic furniture - second hand wooden furniture will create a lively contrast of textures

Grow Your Own

This month's style tip encourages you to continue the green fingered trend through to the inside of your home. Think exotic fruits, vegetables and all things natural.

GP & J Baker 'Parrot & Pineapple'

Sanderson 'Portobello'

For a traditional interpretation of this month's style tip, try some elegant floor length curtains in GP & J Baker's 'Parrot & Pineapple.' The exotic fruits and stunning birds will create a feminine feel in your home. For a more contemporary twist, try a simple roller blind in Sanderson's 'Portobello,' this quirky graphic fabric will add a sense of fun to your kitchen, with fresh colours to highlight throughout the rest of the room. To make the most of this style tip, add a cute row of herbs in worn terracotta pots to your windowsill and a chalkboard for this week's 'to do' list.

or...

Personalise it!

Create a feature of your child's first still life masterpieces! Add some coloured frames to tie them together. Use your treasured items of wooden furniture to add a rustic look to the room.

Experiment with:

• Storage - shelves of kilner jars and old postage labels will create a quaint 'grow your own' look.

• Hanging strings of dried fruit, such as chilli peppers and oranges, from beams or hooks.

Colour pop!

This month's style tip is about injecting a splash of colour into your home. Think fuchsia pinks, acid greens and grapefruit against a backdrop of clean eggshell and chalky greys.

Harlequin 'Tembok'

Sanderson - 'Bellflower'

For a low commitment take on this month's style tip, why not try a bed throw in Harlequin's 'Tembok.' Pick out the softer pinks and blues for colour blocking scatter cushions. For a fun and playful interpretation, try Sanderson's 'Bellflower' This naive floral design will make a striking feature wall, whilst its charcoal background will avoid a colour overload! To really make the most of this month's trend, keep your backdrop in white and neutrals, allowing the colours to sing. Go for gloss finishes on furniture to create a sleek edge. (All of the above fabric is available from Sasha Interiors, Hereford.)

or...

Personalise it!


Try covering mini canvases in two or three of your feature fabrics or wallpapers, and hang them in a chequerboard effect to tie the room together. Try adding statement vases in your accent colours to continue the colour theme.

Experiment with:

• Lighting - soft lamps or industrial style pendants will change the atmosphere of your room
• Covered buttons on cushions and soft furnishings to add a contrasting polka dot effect.

Geometric bliss

Proving that geometrics don't have to be harsh and minimalist, this month's style tip is about how to introduce modern geometrics into your home with a soft edge. Think bold zig zags and cubes in earthy tones.

Sanderson - 'Zig Zag'

Barker and Barker - 'Nancy'

For a subtle take on this season's geometric trend, why not try a feature wall of Sanderson's Zig Zag. This energetic design has enough colour to make an impact, but still incorporates neutral tones which can be carried on throughout the room to avoid overpowering the space. Or, to create a statement piece of furniture, try a feature chair in Barker and Barker's Nancy. The bold cube shapes will add a minimalist feel, without having to hide away your treasured objects! To really make the most of this theme, try mixing and matching geometric prints and weaves in coordinating tones, to create a fun environment. Keep the furniture sleek and simple to draw attention to the statement patterns.

or...

Personalise it!

Add photos of your family and holidays in multi-frames to compliment the cubist feel. Try adding a large mirror to make the room feel bigger and to create new dimensions to those geometric prints.

Experiment with:

• Rugs and throws to add a softer, comforting element to the room
• Creating your own modern patchwork cushions from fabric scraps to mirror the shapes in the feature designs

Brushstrokes

This month's style tip introduces some fresh florals to brighten up your home for spring. Think painterly brushstrokes and delicate meadows with a palette of lush greens and pretty pinks.

Sanderson - 'Poppies'

Harlequin - 'Floris'

For a simple and fresh look, try papering a feature wall, or the alcoves of your living room, in Sanderson's 'Poppies' from the new collection, Colour For Living. For a more traditional style, Harlequin's 'Floris' will add colour and life, without being fussy. To make the most out of the beautifully hand painted foral designs, try adding ombre cushions in accent colours to avoid harsh blocks of colour. Light wood or white painted furniture will keep the room light and airy whilst allowing the bold colours to pop. (All of the above fabric is available from Sasha Interiors, Hereford.)

or...

Personalise it!

Frame your children's paintings to add to the handmade and original feel of the wallpaper. Or, for a more sophisticated look, bring the outside in with lush green pot plants and rustic seed heads.

Experiment with:

• Sheer fabrics - to allow natural light to flood in and keep the look soft
• Piping cord in key colours - to liven up plain fabrics, keeping costs down
