The onset of the cold winter months can often prompt the need for home makeovers, and the John Lewis style spotter is here to offer some tips. A successful interior décor overhaul could make you relish spending more time behind closed doors rather than resenting the loss of alfresco living, but tackling the whole house in one go is rarely a viable option. Here we take it room by room, with inspiration from Roberts’ range of retro Revival radios.
Rich red for the living room
Deep reds can warm a living room and work well with many complementary hues such as whites, blacks, yellows, golds and oranges. Take inspiration from bold Mid-Century style, an era in which the shade was propelled to the forefront of home fashion, with Pop-Art prints, retro typography and design classics such as Anglepoise lamps. Naturalistic prints on fabrics can also help add interest to your ruby canvas.
Powerful purple for the bedroom
Strong and sensual, purple is the perfect choice for a bedroom. Choose tactile fabrics such as satins and silks and rich textures to add an air of luxury to your nighttime haven. For a soft glow to help you relax at the end of a long day, look for purple tea light holders, glass ornaments and mirror detailing to reflect low lights.
Beautiful blue for the kitchen
For a fresh, clean yet fun feel in the kitchen – the room where you’re likely to do a lot of your entertaining – try a powder blue colour scheme plus a generous helping of Fifties’ kitsch. Take a leaf out of Cath Kidston’s interior design book with baby blue polka dot set cushions, pretty printed crockery and retro glassware. But you don’t have to buy up the CK shop to get the look – this popular style is available all over the high street at the minute.
