If you weren’t able to make either of our Old & New workshops, here are Sally’s top tips for relaxed and comfortable interiors.
Don’t feel you have to go completely modern in a new-build. Mix finishes and styles but don’t make the mistake of trying to disguise it as something else!
How to successfully combine old and new elements in contemporary interiors was the theme of Living in Store’s first interior design workshop on Tuesday February 28.
Hosted by director Sally Abram, it offered a step by step guide to creating relaxed, comfortable rooms with an enduring, timeless appeal. Areas covered included the use of favourite possessions as a focal point in a room, texture and tone to add interest to neutrals, enhancing character features with simple styling and why big furniture can be beautiful.
After the talk, participants had the opportunity to talk to Living in Store design consultants about their own homes and seek advice on areas that needed improvement.
The next workshop, on creating outdoor rooms for all the family, takes place on Tuesday April 24. Tickets cost £10 which includes a light lunch and can be purchased on line or by contacting Hanna on 01628 478767.
