WE’RE going to see the trend for dazzling interiors continue right into autumn. It’s really easy to include embellishment in your home, there’s no end of products and accessories available and you can even have a bash at making your own accessories. If rhinestones and diamantes aren’t your style then you can always opt for silver or gold instead. In my opinion, embellishment looks best when teamed alongside dramatic black or gorgeous jewel tones such as berry red, deep purple, turquoise and pink. Silver looks stunning against either a rich purple or deep turquoise and high-shine diamonds or golds look great against black. With the vast array of different wallpapers on offer you could choose to really go to town and include a little shine on your walls too! Obviously if you do opt for glossy wallpaper don’t go overboard on the furniture and accessories as well or your room will look a little too dazzling. The accessories section on the Barker and Stonehouse website should have everything you need to turn your home into a very tasteful Aladdin’s cave of glitter and gold. My advice would be to keep the rest of the room as simple as possible. Stick to straightforward shapes and stay away from bold patterns. However, don’t be afraid to go for rich, heavy fabrics such as velvet as they will give the room an air of luxury, which is set to be another huge trend right through the winter months. Either the Jolanda or Claudis sofas from Barker and Stonehouse will work well with embellished accessories or the beautiful Rossellini sofa is a perfect, if slightly subtler, choice. Once you’ve chosen your sofa you can run wild with the accessories! There’s lots of really lovely glittery cushions to choose from at Barker and Stonehouse you can take your pick from diamante butterflies to Union Jacks. Once you’re done you can sit back and enjoy your shimmery, shiny and very stylish room. |
