Give a living room vintage charm

Living room decorated with vintage pieces and fabric

Mix and match living room


‘An old reupholstered armchair and interesting pieces of furniture, picked up cheaply from junk shops and given a new lease of life, provide a homely mix-and-match feel to the two spaces. Buying locally saves on carbon emissions and helps to cut the family's carbon footprint. ‘We painted the living room walls in a mossy green to provide an understated, neutral backdrop to the patterned upholstery fabric, bright wall art and patchwork soft furnishings made from fabric remnants.'
