HOW TO MAKE IT WORK
• A patterned wallpaper makes a good backdrop for the scheme as long as the colours of the fabrics and furniture are of similar tones
• Natural flooring, such as sisal, is warmer underfoot than tiles or stone and is perfect for a garden room
• Practical and simple Roman blinds add colour and ensure that the room is kept as light as posible
• Throw and cushions create a comfortable feel for metal furniture
