White is such a versatile colour to choose when decorating a room. Create your white base, and then choose your accent shade to personalise your look.

Seasonal shades of green add a fresh feel to a room, helping to bring the outdoors in. Keep rooms fresh with a vibrant mix of pistachio, jade, fennel, lime and crisp, clean whites. Subtle tones of green will create a fresh and relaxing scheme.

White painted furniture combined with natural toned accessories help to create an elegant English Summer look. A white upholstered chair combined with white bedroom furniture immediately begins to soften a room, creating an environment that is very natural and easy to live with.

Spend a little time choosing your throws, cushions and window dressings to ensure your choice of colour shades harmonise well. Add floral details in simple pictures and fresh flowers, or perhaps a modern floral curtain fabric. Pick a colour detail from your curtain fabric to echo in the other soft furnishings, blending muted greens with delicate florals.

Look for interesting textures in throws and cushions for a cosy feel, and group candles to create a warming atmosphere. Add seasonal touches throughout the year such as a vase of lush green foliage, or vase of freshly cut sweet peas to keep your room seasonal and fresh.
