It is easy to stay with what we know and to place the objects in the same way, fill the vases with the same colour and lay the table familiarly, week after week. Last year I have made some big moves and the one major change, apart from the obvious of location, is how re-arranging and adding a few smaller items can completely re-invigorate an interior.
I am still waiting on the big pieces to finish our sitting room in London but in the meantime, a couple of coffee tables and chairs have been my playground.

Easy, simple and not a huge investment; the flipside, I feel like a trailblazer. I’m joking but it is really true that one small addition or removal can change the way we live.
