Create a gallery wall

A gallery wall is one of the most personal ways to finish off your aesthetic room design.

Whether you use photos, framed prints or sculptures - or a mix of all three - be sure to think about the colours, sizing and spacing of the items to ensure they are balanced and harmonious together on the wall space.

Play with shape

Rooms don’t always have to be angular. Curved lines tend to soften the appearance of a room, as well as creating visual interest and charm.

The circular paintwork in this living room not only frames the sofa area neatly, but it also adds character and depth to the overall aesthetic of the space.

Embrace your home’s quirky features

Your aesthetic room decor should always work around the natural features of your home’s build and layout.

Be creative with sloping walls, curved doorways and different floor heights to create quirky and interesting spaces instead of trying to hide them.

Accent with rattan

Rattan offers a wonderful, rustic aesthetic within a nature-inspired home. It blends beautifully with shades of green and blue, and neutral palettes too.

Select rattan framed wall mirrors, bedhead headboards and storage baskets to accessorise your bedroom or living area.

Get creative with wall art

Feeling extra creative? If so, painted wall art is a great way to showcase self-expression in your home as well as inject life and colour into otherwise neutral colour palettes.

Use a stencil to apply painted shapes to walls or ceilings, or try something freehand for a totally bespoke and unique statement!
