A muted palette sets a calm and sophisticated tone, transforming the space with subtle, elegant hues that create a sense of tranquillity and harmony. Wall panelling introduces character, while touches of black accessories add depth and contrast, and wood flooring provides a warm, natural foundation.

Styling the open shelves focuses on achieving balance through colour, texture and a clear theme, using repeating tones, patterns and shapes to keep the look cohesive.

A recessed fireplace wall with open shelving on either side opens up the room, making it feel brighter and more spacious. The addition of plants brings fresh colour and makes a striking finishing touch to the shelving design.
