There’s no denying that this sitting room has ‘good bones’. A stunning flint wall, a flagstone floor, and a predominantly neutral colour palette will always set the scene for a tasteful decorating scheme. Without lot’s of extra texture however, this can sometimes result in a room that can look kind of flat. So I wholeheartedly approve of the choice of luxuriously buttoned seating, a slubby rug underfoot, and that wall of books. Books will always make a room look inviting! But what this room illustrates above all else, is how easy it is to ring the changes with just a few swaps of accessories.

Pastel shades will always speak to me of summer. The lovely pink and pale green cushions (and lampshade) are subtle echoes of the books on the shelves. Which by the way have been colour coded. Not in a slavish way but in a more casual formation. Add to these a vase of seasonal flowers, and you have a summer sitting room that looks elegant and timeless. And then just think how easy it would be to change the pastel shades for some of the other colours in the book collection. Emerald green, or deep red in winter perhaps? Maybe even black? You could then add some pots of healthy evergreens and the look will change completely. And such small changes too!
