Pale accessories and soft furnishings break up the green colour palette in this living room

Using simple silver gilt frames for a collection of predominantly green botanical prints draws the eye straight to the subject and gives the room a calm, orderly feel. Choosing fabrics and accessories in hues of green that match those in the print creates a cohesive look, while blocks of cream in the curtains, lampshades and cushions add pale relief to this dark living room scheme.

Stylist's tip

Use two rows of horizontal trimming on the curtains to break up a large drop.
