The good news? Even small changes can create a big impact, allowing you to achieve a refreshed look without the need for a full-scale renovation. Here are our top tips for giving your home the perfect January-February makeover!

The Power of Colour

Small Colour Updates, Big Impact

Colour is one of the most transformative tools you can use in interior design, offering the ability to completely reinvent the ambience of a room. It has the power to energise a space, bring calmness, or create a warm, inviting atmosphere, depending on the shades and tones you choose. Whether your goal is to establish a whole new look or subtly refresh an existing scheme, colour opens the door to endless creative possibilities.

Styling with the Pavilion Collection

You don’t need to commit to painting the walls to achieve a dramatic change; small updates can have a significant impact. Adding pops of colour through soft furnishings, painted furniture, or carefully chosen home accessories is a simple yet effective approach. Our Pavilion Collection is a versatile choice, perfect for injecting both colour and texture into a room. Their hand-carved leaf design, featuring an intricate cane interior, brings a soft natural element to your look.

Curating a Balanced Colour Palette

Pairing your Pavilion Headboard with fresh white bedding such as our Cotton Crochet Bedspread creates an effortlessly clean and timeless look. You could weave a tiny amount of colour into your scheme through embroidered or cutwork details, like our Aravali Cutwork Embroidered Cotton Reversible Bedspread. Keeping to a limited colour palette anchored to your headboard and other home decor, accessories or art will help maintain balance.

If you’re starting with a neutral bedroom, consider introducing a tonal palette of blues and greens to bring the scheme to life. A green Pavilion Headboard makes a striking focal point, setting the tone for the room. Style this with coordinating pieces, such as the Pavilion Side Table or Ottoman, adding both style and functionality. These pieces have space for books, extra blankets or storing your slippers. Style your bed with a curated selection of soft furnishings for comfort. Cushions like the Calcada, Rueda, or El Vedado designs offer a playful mix of patterns and colours, while our super soft Bordered Knitted Throw adds a layer of warmth very welcome at this time of year!

To enhance the visual interest, consider adding cushions with unique textures or fringed edges. Options such as our Edo Stripe or Ladrillo cushions bring an artisanal quality that enriches the overall aesthetic. These thoughtful details not only add vibrancy but also create a layered, harmonious atmosphere where colour, pattern, and texture work together beautifully.

Update Your Lighting

Lampshades are an often-overlooked element in home decor, yet they have the power to instantly refresh a space. They’re a cost-effective way to add colour, pattern, and texture to your interiors with minimal effort.

Choosing the Right Lampshade

If you’re aiming for a minimalist feel, opt for a neutral shade for a clean, pared-back look - such as our Seema Raffia Lampshade in natural. Or, for something with a touch of colour, try our Seema Raffia Lampshade in navy from our Winter Sale collection. Did you know our Seema lampshades are available in a variety of colours? The hardest part is choosing which colour trim! For those who love a mix of pattern and pops of colour, our statement Edo Stripe, Remolino, and Calcada lampshades are excellent choices. These pieces add visual interest and pair seamlessly with all of our lamp bases, making it easy to integrate them into your existing interior decor. 

Enhancing Ambience with Warm Lighting

For an additional quick fix, consider swapping out cool-toned light bulbs for warmer ones. A warmer glow can transform the ambiance of a room, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere -  perfect while the nights are long.

Switch Up Your Accessories and Soft Furnishings

Refreshing your home accessories is one of the simplest ways to give your home a new lease of life. By curating your shelves, dining table and kitchen surfaces with carefully chosen pieces, you can create a more stylised and calming environment.

Start by decluttering and replacing outdated items with elegant, versatile pieces. For a coffee table or side table, try styling a Rattan Table Lamp alongside a vase of fresh flowers. If you're looking for bold yet functional pieces, our Must Have Planter in yellow and blue or The For Anything bowl will bring vibrancy and style to any surface.

Refresh Your Dining Table for the Season

Restyle your dining table for the new year with a thoughtfully curated look. Begin by choosing a seasonal colour palette inspired by blooms, ceramics, or cherished artwork. Layer printed linens like our Chevron Block Print Tablecloth or Table Runner with coordinating napkins for a cohesive feel. Add texture with Round Jute Placemats and elevate the look with Ripple Glassware by Balu London. Complete your tablescape with Grown Up Candlesticks for sophistication or our Column Candlesticks and a Must Have Planter with foliage. This blend of sustainable and stylish pieces creates the perfect setting for any celebration!

Rugs: The Ultimate Room Refresher

A new rug, like our Green Check Mate Rug, can instantly refresh a room - whether you're introducing one for the first time or swapping out an old design. Don't underestimate the impact of a well-chosen rug! Sizing is key: too large, and it can overwhelm the room; too small, and it may make the area feel cramped. Rugs are perfect for zoning areas and adding warmth.

For a bedroom, position your rug under the foot of the bed, ensuring it extends on either side for a soft landing when you step out. Or, in a sitting room, style it under a coffee table to create a cosy, defined space.
