Putting your room together - Choosing the right combination of finishes and furnishings
Creating a room scheme requires a careful blend of all the elements in a room, so that each perfectly offsets the other to give you your desired result. A complete room scheme combines the paint finish, lighting, flooring and soft and hard furnishings. To help you develop your room scheme we have included decorating notes on all these elements.
