One scoop or two?

This month's style tip focusses on an array of ice cream pastels with an added kick. Go for powder blues and pinks with dashes of cream and lemon yellow to welcome in a touch of uplifting sunshine.

Harlequin Identity - 'Lampshades'

Harlequin Identity - 'Eternal'

Why not try a statement patterned wall like the above designs by Harlequin? Go for a powerful punch of the magenta 'Eternal' with white or cream furniture to give it a sense of calm, or go for the more subtle bubblegum 'Lampshades' to create a contemporary, quirky room, and echo the bold shapes in your furniture choices. Try the full gelato look with ice cream striped throws or furniture. (All of the above wallpaper is available from Sasha Interiors, Hereford)

Personalise it!

Paint radiators and boring wardrobes in cute pastel shades to add a handmade contrasting look to your walls. Simple rugs will bring life and comfort to white floorboards, and why not get some extra detail in by adding pleated lampshades and waffle cone ruffles to your accessories, creating a tactile environment good enough to eat!

Experiment with:

• Touches of black - giving an edge to this sweet style
• Wooden ornaments to bring the contemporary feel down to earth
