Dress your staircase and hallway

Your staircase can make or break your hallway, and with so many ways to dress it, it’s important you get it right.

Stair Rods Direct have an extensive range including modern, traditional and crystal styles, so you’re sure to find the perfect finishing touch for your staircase with them.

You can also transform your hallway by adding small details like antique ornaments, trinkets and house plants.

Matching decorative fabric cushions with a perfectly matched throw

Use soft furnishings in your living room

Once you’ve found your ideal furniture, it’s time to add the finishing touches. When it comes to your living room sofa, you’ll need some soft furnishings to complement it. Scatter cushions are perfect for transforming the look of your sofa, particularly if you’ve opted for a plainer design. Inviting a mix of textures into your home is a fool-proof way of making an impact, so bear this in mind when you’re choosing your soft furnishings.

If you’ve opted for a fabric sofa, opting for statement leather scatter cushions like these from SofaSofa will look great. However, if you’ve got a leather sofa, you’re bound to be spoilt for choice when choosing decorative fabric cushions. You could even get throws to match your cushions for a perfectly put-together look.
