Hillarys room design challenge by interior designer Emily Henson
I love how calming, comforting and inviting this room looks. It makes me want to hunker down on that sofa and get cosy under all the layers. It has a lot of character but in a subtle way that doesn’t overwhelm the senses.
Emily Henson, interior stylist, designer and author, teams curtain and Roman blind fabrics from our new collection to design an original interior in her signature Modern Rustic style.

Emily has styled prestigious campaigns for some of the biggest names in the high street, including Ikea, Laura Ashley and M & S. She has also written three books on interior design.
We asked Emily to show us how to create a signature look from her first interiors book, Modern Rustic, using fabrics from our stunning new curtains and Roman blinds collection. Emily chose natural fabrics in subtle shades to create this calm and texturally enveloping look.
Emily’s fabric choices
For a rustic and supremely cosy feel, Emily teamed a classic woven check Roman blind, Howard Chartreuse , with linen-look curtains in Lindora Silver. She finished her look with a mountain of deep filled cushions in coordinating shades of blush pink, dove grey, mustard and chartreuse.

0800 916 6524Emily reflects on her own sewing skills in her appreciation of the quality and skill that goes into a made-to-measure window dressing. She told us: ‘I made a pair of curtains once that were so uneven in length that you couldn’t hide it. I tried to tell friends that I did it on purpose, but I couldn’t say it with a straight face’.
