Personality Plus
This elegant and restful setting comes from Ideal Home UK. It’s a timeless, effortless look that can be tricky to get just right.
Why do we love it and why is it just right?
-
Symmetry and balance are the keys here, with the sofa as focal point framed by the lines of the side tables and lamps
-
Monochrome colour palettes will always be ‘in’, but we like the fact that the sofa, with its bright fabric, adds vibrant colour making the look more ‘now’
-
Matching is important in this room – for a change! – the look would not work if the side tables and lamps were not identical
-
The lively pattern on the sofa is allowed to take centre stage with the addition of only two restrained block colour cushions
-
The fun, informal arrangement of the photo wall – known as a ‘Paris Hang’ - is refreshing and contrasts with the symmetry of the side tables. Straight rows of pictures would make a rigid and cold impression
-
It is essential to have all the photographs in black and white and the frames, too, but the rules can be relaxed when it comes to the frames – mix it up a bit!
Eco Chic can work with you to Get the Look! Our Parker Sofa can be upholstered in any jaunty fabric of your choice and we can easily make toning scatter cushions to go with it. Or, if you prefer a ready made sofa, the Suzette is bold splash of colour and style. The Paloma side table is slim and sophisticated and would look fabulous either side of a statement sofa. Put a Zandra table lamp on each table and you’ll have a wonderful, sexy, signature effect. Finish the whole setting off with a random tableau of Boxy Frames containing all your favourite snapshots and mementos and you’ve got a room to die for!
