Refined Reflections

A floor mirror isn’t just for the bedroom, dressing room or entry. Leaning against a wall in a dark corner or positioned to reflect light from a window, a full-length standing floor or wall-mounted mirror is magical for enlarging and brightening a space. Currently in vogue: matte black or gold-finished frames – oh, so chic.

In Living Colour

Time to exit your comfort zone! If you’ve always opted for a neutral living room sofa, now’s the time to be brave and go for bold, beautiful colour. We opted for a Capri blue sofa as the basis for two palettes. In the first, tone-on-tone blues give a restful feeling. Then for a different mood, we used cream as a secondary colour for a subtle take on classic blue and white. In both, a green accent cushion and fern keep things lively. Feeling more daring? Bring in orange (blue’s complementary colour) for a vibrant touch.
