1 MIX AND MATCH STRIPES

The call for stripes is going nowhere and you can add your own twist by running them in different ways on a wall or two. Paint or wallpaper with a contrasting design - either stripes that go vertical on one half of the wall and horizontal at the top, or even stripes in different widths for a striking, modern look.

image2 ADD TACTILE FURNITURE

There's no better way to create a cosy setting than with an upholstered armchair or sofa to snuggle up on. Adding a single piece like this loveseat, designed to resemble 1950s pilots armchairs, has a striped cotton rug fabric that instantly makes a room feel more homely.

image4 TREAT YOURSELF

It's not just about the lighting when the lamp itself is as beautiful as this. The perfect addition to a sideboard, bedside table or console as the days start to become darker earlier.

image5 HOW TO ADD PATTERN TO PAINTED FURNITURE

Use a block print method to create a pattern of your choice

First, clean your furniture to make sure it's free of dust. Ensure it's dry.

Carve a design of your choice onto a wooden block using a carving tool.

Then, apply paint to the block using a small roller to ensure an even coat.
