This delicately balanced design story artfully blends the raw beauty of winter with the warming notes of spring. Let us inspire you with melting watercolour prints, crackle patterns and swirling misty greys.

Minimalist Dining Room with Grey Kitchen Curtains

Relaxing retreat

Like tiny snowdrops pushing through the frozen ground, this soft and subtle story is finely poised – not quite free of the icy grip of winter, but not yet ready to embrace the full flourish of spring.

Misty morning greys create an ethereal and transient look. Accessories have an organic feel, with rough surfaces and imperfect shapes that illuminate the maker’s craft. Wood surfaces are natural and untreated or polished to highlight the natural beauty of the grain.

Try layering thick curtains over a patterned Roman blind, and combine with textiles in linen, wool and semi-sheer fabrics to create a light but cosy atmosphere for hibernating away.

Perfectly imperfect

Create an away-from-it-all rustic look with bare floorboards, layered with vintage rugs in fade-out shades. Creamy neutrals and barely there pink hues bring subtle warmth, while rich amber adds heat and depth.

In this gorgeous bedroom our Purity White Roller blinds diffuses the light with Acacia Taupe layered on top to add in some colour. Because this room has big windows, we softened the look further, finishing with gorgeous floor-to-ceiling curtains in Tetbury Blush.

We’ve used wicker baskets and ladder storage to enhance the rustic feel, with hand-knitted throws, sheepskin rugs and plush cushions casually layered around the room for a textural, undone feel.

Sleek and stylish

Simple, smooth and stylish, grey blinds are an increasingly popular choice for interior design styles and we don’t see this trend going out of fashion anytime soon.

In this cool work space, the icy grey Roller blind meets rough and raw natural surfaces combined with luxe black details.

A modern alternative to classic neutrals such as cream that may seem a little more old-fashioned now, grey is the perfect choice if you are looking to pair versatility with contemporary style.

Spring awakening

Flexible light control is key to this brink-of-spring look. When the days get longer, it’s important to allow as much light into the home as possible, while at the same time incorporating enough cosiness to snuggle up until the warmer weather arrives.

In this elegant living room, pale blue café style shutters provide immediate privacy, light and temperature control, but at the same time allow lots of sunlight into the room above eye level. Piles of plush cushions on the peachy sofa finish the fresh and inviting feel.

Raw and rustic

Choose fade-out prints in tonal grey shades and layer Roman blinds with curtains to create a cosy feel. A limed wooden table takes centre stage in this scandi-style dining room, while the cushioned bench seat and woollen dining chairs add texture and warmth.

Tetbury Charcoal

Luxe marble

In this stunning living room, a marble covered wall creates an instant feeling of luxury. We've picked three curtain fabrics for the window coverings, Clarence Off White, Tetbury Ivory and a semi-sheer Lyra Ivory Voile curtain. These rippling fabrics add softness and warmth, while also allowing lots of light into the room. A mossy green sofa and navy cushions give the look depth and focus.

Clarence Off White Tetbury Ivory

House Beautiful collection

Here, the peachy pink palette instantly brings warmth to this gorgeous living room. But the elements of the Winter Ballad design story are all still here. Painterly print Roman blinds and luxe velvet curtains create a rustic and tactile feel, while luxe cushions and soft woollen throws add instant snuggle appeal.

Blushing rose

Lift a cool blue space with pops of palest pink. In this restful bedroom, a gently curving woollen headboard offers a sweet caress, with crinkly linen in shades of misty grey, heather and pastel pink inviting you to while away the hours in this laid-back bed. Tier-on-tier shutters offer the best of all worlds, providing privacy, temperature control and flexible control over light.

Chalk Pink

Perfect hideaway

In this restful bedroom, deep charcoal curtains and a blue linen throw bring drama, which is softened by the painterly print velvet Roman blinds and cushions covered in soft, overlapping circles of blue. The chevron parquet floor and angle poise lamp add textural interest to the space.

Rustica

Here's an elegant take on a rustic theme, with a pared back palette of putty greys and inky blues. Painted floorboards, wicker storage baskets and a woven rug all help to create the rustic feel, with a slouchy sofa and curvacious chair to dial up the comfort factor. Linen stripe Roman blinds and curtains in a fade-out print add to the relaxed, yet refined air.

Melting Ice

This sophisticated living room is like a blast of fresh air, with its palette of ice white, pale aqua and cool grey tones. A vintage marble side table lends an air of faded glamour and a singe fragrant stem adds a charming rustic flavour to the stylish scene.

Outside in

Capture the transition from winter to spring with blurred line prints, mottled surfaces and speckled ceramics in a palette of smokey greys and spring greens. Add subtle hints of soft pink for warmth.
