'For this room, we sourced a beautiful antique bobbin chair and updated it with a lovely slubby antique linen which we had dyed in this sunny yellow color, and the sleek lines and mirror finish of our cube steel side table contrasts it beautifully.’ Mixing the old and the new ensures that a room won’t be overly influenced by current trends and date quickly, while statement pops of color and pattern combined with natural materials will really bring it to life with a tone of modernity. ‘Sometimes we might incorporate antiques that our clients have had forever as a starting point for a living room scheme, or we will source some characterful pieces for them. 'We aim to create spaces that are inviting and timeless and we love to create a balanced mix of older antique pieces juxtaposed with vintage items and contemporary designs,’ says Susie Atkinson, Founder of London-based Interior Design Studio Susie Atkinson.

The pattern mix here include the Anna French lampshade fabric, Schumacher curtains and plump Rapture & Wright seat cushions.īotanical artworks compliment the textiles and add to the country feel. So even with lots of different pattern, the colors help all the diverse elements to sit together happily. Gathering a few two-tone prints in a similar palette helps to keep a scheme feeling cohesive.

It’s a fabulous way to incorporate a shade you love and you can go all out with patterns too – it needn’t be all about plains. If you’ve decided to keep your walls neutral or white, but still fancy a splash of color then consider choosing accent colors to boost interest.
