Add style to your family room by using decorative detail

Take your family living room from functional to beautiful with pattern, texture and statement pieces

Use decorative detail to create a fresh living room scheme. Follow these top tips to create the look:

Add in shimmer
Give your room a glamorous touch with plenty of accessories with textured finishes and sparkling detail.

Opt for statement pieces
A statement picture, lamp or rug can transform your room from bland to beautiful and create an instant focal point.

Keep the background simple
Let your accessories steal the show by keeping the backdrop simple. Wallpaper or paints in subtle shades will really allow a statement lamp or piece of wall art to stand out.
