Dream Scheme
'A pared-down palette helps strong architectural features, like cornicing or shutters, to stand out,' says designer and stylist Abigail Ahern. 'Layer up restful neutrals in different tones for a calming scheme.' Custom-made, solid shutters are perfect for arched, circular or irregular-shaped windows, and block out light entirely, helping to ensure a perfect night's rest. Plus they provide great insulation and are easy to maintain. Soften the look by teaming them with simple sheers or curtains.
