5 ways to makeover your home for spring

Mix it up

We see the magic happening in cool restaurants, shops and even gyms, but the thought of mixing industrial looks with softer material for texture is a bit scary. But Samantha Giddins, founder of Mink Interiors, says it’s a lot easier than we think to create the look. ‘This season we’re seeing a strong trend for natural-inspired textures in interior design – think rattan, raw woods, bamboo, concrete and leather. By teaming luxury velvets – in the form of cushions – with striking metallic wirework and industrial lighting, you can introduce more texture and hints of colour into your spring/summer interiors scheme.’ We can see this unique Army Green Rattan Tub Chair sitting comfortably in any of our rooms, but if you want to play it safe, these Luxury Velvet Cushions are a chic shout.
Cushions, £60 (square), £110 (round)
