The best way to bring interior design that reflects our true personality is to take stock of our favourite things such as garden plants, trees & shrubs.   We can gain huge enjoyment from the colours of nature.  Take the beautiful cornflowers for example, they are a stunning blue, with such a clarity that one can say instantly, oh, that’s cornflower blue.   I like to have a lot of pale cream furnishings around me but with various colours picked out – these might be  florals on the soft furnishings and maybe a toning cushion or bolster cover.   I do know someone who has pale grey upholstery with one chair in a deep blue shade and pale greay and deep blue cushions and curtains  It looks stunning and in fact, is where I p9inched the idea for my bedroom.  It’s important to think about the space available to be decorated too – it’s not a good idea to have a flambouyant display in somewhere rather pokey without any natural light.  In fact, light is critical to all forms of interior design.
