A New Year, a New Interior!

Hi,

Spring is just around the corner, and its time to update your interiors. Just a few small changes can make all the difference and give a fresh new feel to a room!

Take a good look at the furnishings you already have and have a look through some interiors magazines or websites to pick up ideas of how these may work in a new setting. For example if your existing scheme is mainly neutral with creams, browns, greys and black you could introduce a new accent colour in cushions and accessories. Or you could pick out an existing colour in one of your patterned furnishings and complement this with coordinating plain accessories, or even take it into the wall colour.

Of course it's time for a declutter too! Too often too much ends up in each room, whether its furniture or finishing touches! Try removing some items that really are surplus to requirements to give your rooms a real sense of calm and order. This may well free up some items that would complement other rooms in your house.
Take a look at the colour and pattern themes in fashion that are available just now, and this will give you some ideas about current trends in interiors too. The main influence should be your own personal taste - because this is never out of style!
If you would prefer a helping hand with your spring mini-makeover, we are always on hand with our Room Therapy service which you can find out about by visiting www.luma-interiors.co.uk/roomtherapy.htm
