IN THE ROUND
Set the scene this festive season by suspending a wreath above the table Scandinavian-style. Fresh green not only complements the tree itself but is on trend for a modern Christmas palette. ‘Green and white – without any red – strikes the balance between traditional and contemporary,’ says Kyra Cosgrove, home designer at Neptune. ‘The key to making it feel stylish, yet magical, is to contrast natural materials with subtle metallics and luxurious velvets.’
AGED BEAUTY
Walls in a warming spiced hue exposed oak beams and painted floorboards combine to create a dining room packed with interest and light. Demonstrating how to handle historic interiors without resorting to high formality, decorator Henry Miller-Robinson, co-founder of K&H Design, uses color and over-scaled flower arrangements to create warmth and character. ‘The decorative overdoors add a little grandeur, but not too much,’ says Henry who enjoys searching for wildflowers and foliage to use in his relaxed, maximalist flower arrangements.
