Easy decorating

Follow these simple steps to get the look:

Choose natural colours Start with chalk-white walls, add white-painted furniture and oak flooring and you'll have the perfect backdrop for accessories in rose red, delicate pink and leafy green

Mix floral fabrics Try a bud print on chairs and rambling roses on curtains

Add colour with plants Bring in accent colours with plants and floral displays and keep them in stylish pottery

Pick fuss-free furniture Go for sofas with removable covers and a hard-wearing sisal rug for a scheme that's practical and pretty
