Expert tip

Window dressings are a great way to introduce pattern - you can draw them back in the mornings and just see a slither of pattern, before being wrapped up in their sumptuousness when you close them at night.

Expert tip

I like to have a room that feels restorative, where I can come away from the noises of the house. I use an earthy palette and beautiful reference points of black to make a space feel super sophisticated as well as cocooning.
