A Warm, Stylish, Family-Friendly Sitting Room

This beautiful room demonstrates the ease with which you can create a harmonious space that is not only a joy to look at, but which also has a welcoming atmosphere that will make sure that family, friends and other guests will want to linger, and will be able to be as relaxed as can be.

Look at the beautiful rug, with its bold coloured stripes, and notice how it brings the room together, picking up the colour notes found in the cushions and in the garden, visible through the window. It's important not to go over the top with colours like this, but this room has the balance exactly right.

Also note the eclectic range of furniture, and how the plain white walls allow the disparate styles to be brought into harmony, making the room an effortlessly elegant and relaxing space to spend time.

This room uses a few simple tricks to attain the sense of harmony that exudes from the carefully selected furniture. The trick is to be bold, to be eclectic, and to be true to your own vision of what your room should be.
