It's the finishing touches that make all the difference to your living room, kitchen, hallway, bedroom or bathroom. Adding new cushions and throws are the easiest and quickest way to give your lovely living room a quick update, or if you're starting from scratch having re-decorated, bring a whole new interior look together. Opt for feature cushions scattered amongst your basics for a truly unique interior style, or why not change them seasonally for a fresh interior look? Adding textured fabrics, woollens and cosy blankets will create a warm and welcoming atmosphere in the winter months; whereas soft, light coloured linens and gauzy cottons will give your home and bright and breezy look for summer. When it comes to cushions we adore all designs from sumptuous velvets or simple striped linen to metallic weaves or brightly patterned cotton cushion covers. Try layering some basic neutral cushions with a few feature designs for a classic, understated look then add a cosy knitted throw or sequinned blanket - perfect for cosying up on a winter's night. A rug can also add a design element to a room as well as providing something soft underfoot.

Opting for that feature vase or plant pot on a console table, open shelving or coffee table will make a serious statement; or why not pile a candle try with lots of mis-matching votives and tealight holders for a truly Scandinavian look with a touch of shabby chic that will glimmer and glow summer or winter? A lantern isn't just for warmer nights so why not bring them indoors during the colder seasons and line your window sills with a festive glow?

Modern alternatives to traditional wall art now means it's possible to adorn your walls with seriously stylish home accessories prints, signs, antlers, plaques or heads that create instant wow factor in any room. Black and white prints look striking against a white wall, or hang some replica antlers over a fireplace for a mountain lodge look.

How you style, store and display your home accessories can also dramatically alter the look of a room. We love creating stylish groups of our favourite finds such a lantern, decorative feather, tealight holder or ornament on a console table; storing crockery on open shelving or even filling a glass-fronted storage cabinet with plates, glasses and serving bowls. Don't keep your favourite items stored away in a cabinet but embrace your interior style whether it's industrial retro or shabby chic and build your home around your style.

Shabby Chic

The shabby chic interior style is inspired by true Danish design a relaxed and comfortable mix of practical yet stylish home accessories and furniture designed to fit in with any home. Be it a city centre apartment or country cottage, elements of shabby chic design can be applied to your interior scheme. We're inspired by the soft grey palette, the odd touch of lace on a tablecloth or napkin, or a shimmering rustic style tealight holder that adds a delicate decorative touch. So even if your home doesn't scream shabby chic from top to bottom, take the best of the style and apply it in small doses. Alternatively, embrace the style from top to bottom, adding vintage style chandeliers, rugs woven with metallic leather, distressed painted furniture and plenty of soft linens and velvets.
