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

Living room
There are times when you might want to control both light and privacy. Hanging patterned panel blinds gives shade from direct sunlight and adds a layer of interest to this room.

Burnt-orange tones used both outside and in create a link between the two spaces, while natural linens evoke a tranquil mood. An area rug offers luxurious softness as does a comfortably cushioned modular sofa with extended foot rest.

To create more intimate areas within this large room, open-backed shelving has been used to help define the space.

How to make it work
• Large-scale artworks with a natural theme add further interest and help unite the garden and home.
• In a simply textured scheme, you can afford to add the odd strikingly modern piece without it feeling out of place.
• Chalky white walls will keep the focus on the zones marked out by furniture and accessories.
• Introducing indoor plants and soft, loose flower arrangements and foliage bring large spaces to life.
