Bed Threads' apple green sheets are given a more mellow twist when paired with Abask's handwoven rug and paper lights

Kitchens can become characterless spaces without texture and pattern, so be sure to add in handcrafted elements and unusual items, like this walnut serving board

Harmonious earthy tones of brown, yellow and green create an ideal year-round palette that works just as well in the heat of the summer as in the depths of winter. Neptune's 'Farlow' cabinet strikes the right balance between playful and pared-back when painted in ‘Polenta’, whilst Studio Ham's framed Jack Russell rug keeps things from feeling too serious.

Sunshine hues are here to stay and nowhere do they look better than on a table set for lunch. Zara Home's striped tablecloth is an affordable way to set the tone for an upbeat al fresco table, whilst Studio Ham's mustard occasional chairs provide the perfect seat. Elsewhere, Casa Latina's napkin rings are as pretty as jewellery: the perfect finishing touch.

Blues and oranges prove a bold and charming combination, particularly at Oka, where burnt orange footstools are adorned with a pale blue trim. A more subtle take on the colour pairing, Beata Heuman's ‘Cross Lap' cabinet is crafted from French oak and painted in ‘Forest’, a colour from Beata's own collection with Mylands.

Chrome accessories are a fast-track way to making a room feel more contemporary, especially when in the loose, flowing style of Six Dots Design. Place the metal next to furniture and walls painted in arsenic and watch them bring a space to life. To prevent things from feeling too cold, why not add a folky cushion, like this Welsh style from Toast?

Bold sgraffito swans by Cornwall-based artist Tabby Booth form a wonderful anchor for a smart sitting room. Hang them above this welcoming striped sofa from Studio Atkinson, or let them play off other graphic items like the ‘Kiss Cross Blanket’.
