A colour scheme of off-whites and greys is on-trend, effortlessly beautiful and helps the room feel open and airy. Contrasting details add definition - the artwork, circular mirror, coffee table, console table and vintage-style radiator - and large scale pieces such as the armchair, rug and wide floorboards actually make the room feel bigger. ‘People often think, use small objects in a small space,’ says Olga, ‘but they can make a room appear mean.’
