5 design ideas to elevate your style
Ready to take things up a notch? Read on for some of our favourite ways to put the icing on top of your interior cake and elevate your style.
Add a splash of colour
If your living room is on-brand for your style but still feeling a little lacklustre, try adding a splash of colour to transform the feel of your space.
Why not choose a scarlet lamp or crimson throw, inspired by TikTok’s favourite unexpected red theory, to break up a monotonous space and inject a bit more life into your interior? Or, if your thing is bright and bold, a yellow or orange chair to double down on an optimistic atmosphere?
Remember - whatever colour you choose, try to keep the style or shape of your brand spanking new addition in line with your current vibe to ensure your pop of colour is captivating but still cohesive!

Say YES to scatters
Sofa secured? It’s time to dress to impress, and scatters are about to become your new best friends.
Available in all shapes and sizes to suit every style, scatter and accent cushions are a perfect way to overload your sofa with personality without the hefty price tag. We love the irresistibly plush Luvette scatter for a cosy cocoon space, and the Bamburgh stripe oozes quintessential British countryside for your cottagecore haven.
Driven by designer? The Joules collection of scatters has something for everyone, from furry friend features for a quirkier space to classic, monochromatic cushions that add texture to your sofa. If it’s variety you’re after, choose the Ted Baker Grove ball cushion - sleek, striking, and undeniably luxurious.
Make a seating statement
If you’re in the search for a new favourite seating spot that’ll turn your living room from a like to a love, you’re in the right place. Whether you’ve got your eye on a recliner or a cuddler, a chair can take your space from so-so to sorted.
Nothing makes a statement like a snazzy new accent chair. Perfect for a twist of colour or shape in the corner of your room, accent chairs shine a spotlight on the most eye-catching elements of your style to really show off your flair.
Cosy couture more your thing? A snuggle chair - or cuddler sofa - might be the missing piece of your style jigsaw. We love the Ava cuddler and the Laura Ashley Lynden pillow back snuggle chaise for a touch of elegance in your every day.
And, of course, if you’re looking for a stamp of sophistication a recliner chair is the ultimate choice. Whether it’s a soft and simple fabric to sink into on a lazy evening or a high-tech leather recliner taking movie marathons to the next level.
Introduce patterns
Incorporating patterns into your space is relatively easy, often affordable, and always a lot of fun. A pop of pattern in a room that’s otherwise on the plain side adds dimension and visual interest without being too in your face; we recommend choosing two or three different patterns in a mix of large and small scales for best effect.
Some patterns have come to be synonymous with the style umbrellas they look best under - think gingham and plaid in a countryside kitchen, saturated florals in 60s and 70s inspired interiors, and bold and boujee animal print on a maximalist feature wall.
But that’s not to say you have to stick to the rules! Elevating your style is all about making your space more you, and if that means your mid-century sofa needs a gingham scatter cushion - so be it!
Furnish for function
Your style isn’t just about the look - it’s important you love to live in the space you’ve created.
Functional furniture like bookshelves, side tables, and coffee tables ramp up the aesthetic value of your home with the added pro of making a room more fit for daily life. If your style is sleek and modern, stack your Carrera coffee table high with art and fashion house books for a truly Instagrammable centrepiece, or showcase school photos on the Alba shelves for a more family-focused vibe.

How to elevate your style on two different budgets
Pushing the boundaries of your style doesn’t have to break the bank. Whether you’ve got cash to splash or you’re on the lookout for a bargain, choosing one or two upgradeable items is the key to making your mark.
Splashing out…
Ready to splurge on a style upgrade? One price tag-worthy way to elevate your style and commit to luxurious lounging is choosing a power recliner sofa. Long gone are the days of a single recliner silhouette with frumpy arms and a fabric that should’ve stayed in the 80s - these days, there’s a recliner sofa for every style from modern to mid century to traditional, and spending a few extra pennies gets you completely customisable comfort.
…or on a budget?
After a more affordable alternative? If you like the idea of ramping up your relaxation with a recliner but aren’t so keen on the cost, manual recliner sofas are a cheaper option with three set positions for your comfort. More budget-friendly style enhancing elements include a fresh lick of a new paint colour to brighten up your room or frame a feature wall, or accessories like a new rug or accent cushion to rejuvenate your existing décor.
