The nights are drawing in, the heating is being turned up and winter is well and truly on its way. We’ve got you covered to make sure you’re clued up on all the latest interior design trends.
We’ve hooked up with two design experts to bring you all you need to know about dressing your home – paying close attention to those all-important entrance halls, stairs, and landing areas.
Interior designer Emmie Maycock of White Chalk says making use of natural light and using contrasting colours will enhance any entrance hallway leading to your staircase.
Emmie said: “Using a contrasting colour in your hall where possible will add depth and interest. Whether this be by using colour blocking or adding a feature wallpaper, doing so with warm autumnal tones is perfect for this time of year. Be sure to use colours which you know you’ll love heading in to spring and summer too.
“Artwork is perfect for adding interest without committing to full décor. Our top tip is to check out Desenio and their wide range of prints.
“If you want to be daring, you can add a feature colour to your banister and railings.
“Embellish your hall with a console table dressed with layers. Perhaps include a lovely wall mirror, an abstract print and a selection of accessories and plants. Pampas grass is our favourite.
“When adding in a feature paint or wallpaper for contrast, it’s important to maximise your natural light to prevent your hall from feeling dark. Keep feature windows untreated where possible to really let that winter sun shine through.”
