PICK THE PERFECT FLOORING • Whether you’ve got your heart set on some period-style tiles for the hallway or a luxe soft-pile carpet for your bedroom, you’ll need to consider a few key points before investing underfoot, such as durability, cost and the moisture levels of the room. Read on for some stylish flooring options to make the decision easier…

Add warmth with wood • As the seasons change, make the most of your oak flooring or a rustic piece of furniture by both complementing its natural material and creating an eye-catching focal point. Here, a large mirror positioned on top of a wooden sideboard reflects the light as well as the decorative wall mural opposite, adding another layer to a scheme that teams rich earthenware with cosy soft furnishings.
