In this guide we look at reading the corner before you buy, choosing a compact and comfortable chair, and layering texture with a single cushion, a soft throw and a small rug underneath. We explain how lighting from a slim floor or table lamp creates a genuine reading nook, and how a few personal touches give the corner purpose. We also cover the practical side, since a bedroom chair often doubles as a place to lay out clothes, so it needs to stay tidy as well as beautiful throughout everyday use....

How to Style a Bedroom Around a Statement Wall in a UK Home

This guide explains how to treat the wall as the lead and let the furniture, lighting and accessories support it, from choosing between paint, wallpaper and panelling to anchoring the space with a well proportioned bed. It covers building symmetry with matching bedside cabinets, using mirrors to add depth, keeping the rest of the room quiet and finishing with art and bedding that tie the whole scheme together naturally....
