The art of layering

BEDROOM FOCUS

Elements of surprise are found everywhere in this village house, which has spirited schemes that feel both classic and completely modern

With their mesmerising interplay of abstract forms and kaleidoscopic colours, these large-scale geometrics set the tone for a dynamic interior

Built only 20 years ago, this home has a heritage look that’s down to the use of antiques and aged finishes but also its designers – Sara Swabb and Tanya Smith-Shiflett

In addition to bringing an interior to life, art is also the detail that ensures a scheme feels completely unique

Create head-turning interiors by drenching surfaces in an array of captivating prints. From chintz and checks, to stripes and ditsy florals, this season it’s all about layering designs to spark maximum joy
