WHAT TO THINK ABOUT

“Wood is great in the living room for creating
warmth and atmosphere, pale shades like
chalked pine, whitewashed wood and oak
are cool and contemporary and perfect for
recreating the Scandinavian trend that is
so popular right now. Create a statement
floor using dark stones like Graphite Slate or
Monmouth Slate for sleek appeal: just ensure
you keep walls and accessories light to provide
contrast in the room. Be brave, and mix and
match products and materials in the lounge to
create chevron, checkerboard or herringbone
patterns. Motifs not only look stunning but
create a focal point, adding interest to your
living room.” Lorna Williams, Amtico
