Create a modern-folk living room scheme

Find the perfect scheme for laid-back summer living with a blissful mix of tempting cherry red and cool chalk white – ideal for a cheerful, fresh look

There's something about the combination of pure white and vibrant red that really says 'summer', and this look's laid-back feel is so easy to achieve.

Start with a clean backdrop of white walls and voile curtains, add natural seagrass flooring and warm wooden pieces, then layer on the pattern and colour.

Informal upholstery is the key here - team a plain neutral sofa with two armchairs in different patterns for a naturally casual feel.

Mix together folk-style stripes, checks and florals in red and white for a fresh take on country style. Finish with pretty accessories and plenty of fresh flowers.
