HOW TO MAKE IT WORK
• A statement wall canvas in striking shades of aqua and lime creates impact without overcrowding the scheme
• For a casual feel, choose a long, refectory-style table; benches can be pushed underneath when not in use
• Practical flooring and easily maintained surfaces make this family room simple to keep clean
• Linen roll-up blinds can be adjusted to maximise daylight in the room
