Three looks for indoor-outdoor rooms

While rooms with floor-to-ceiling glass link the home with the garden, they can be a challenge to decorate. We make the most of what they have to offer

Breakfast room

One of the best ways to blur the boundary between the inside and the out is to introduce large pot plants that echo those in the garden.

Using furniture, such as these organic-shaped low-backed chairs and circular table, softens the room’s hard edges and won’t obscure the all-important view.

The choice of muted pastel shades partnered with pale wood is a good way to add gentle colour to a predominantly white scheme.

How to make it work
• Modern paper-weave seats will offer a sense of outdoors dining all year round.
• Pale wood flooring adds warmth to a scheme and gives a gentler feel underfoot than a hard surface such as stone.
• A light, sheer curtain in fresh cotton can afford privacy and shade, and will soften larger expanses of glass.
• Add extra cushions to chairs to encourage long lazy breakfasts.
