Four looks for family living

Create four unique schemes inspired by the latest patterns

Global textures living room

Drawing from a melting pot of ethnic influences, these unusual zigzag shapes in reds, golds and caramels create an inviting feel in the living room.

Five steps to get the look:

1) Start with a neutral sofa and pale walls then add colour with bright cushions in deep red and the zigzag pattern.

2) Use large-scale statement accessories in warm, spicy shades and cool naturals.

3) Team with sturdy dark wood furniture for a well-travelled look that shows off your global credentials.

4) On large areas like curtains, swap the strong zigzags for softer wave patterns.

5) Create an interesting display wth assorted vases and ornaments, starting with the largest objects at the back, and finish with some pretty twigs and soft artificial flower displays.
