‘Choose two, maximum three main colours – and stick to them. When it comes to patterns, make sure they harmonise. A simple trick: one colour should be repeated in every cushion.’
‘The rug should be generous: 15–30 cm wider than the sofa, with the front legs placed on top. A rug with pattern, texture or an organic shape adds extra character.’
‘The coffee table should complement the sofa – not too large, not too small. Round tables or several smaller ones work well with curved sofas. Angular sofas pair particularly well with square or rectangular tables. And remember: the lower the table, the calmer and more contemporary the look.’
