Simple and Stylish Living Room Updates
Book smart
Bookish never means boring and the Weld is a (book) case in point. New from Sebastian Cox, note its jewel-like yellow paint shade, applied lightly enough to reveal the English ash timber beneath, and a cheery match for the spines of brightly coloured tomes.
HANGING OUT
Curating a gallery wall can be tricky. Lucky then that Soho Home Editions has launched eight limited- edition artworks by artists including Paul Davies, Danny Augustine and Alice Browne – catch their work on the walls at White City House and Soho Farmhouse. Our money’s on Alice’s BTWXT (below) for a covetable, conversation-starting piece.

out of the ordinary
Online emporium Ceraudo stocks fab vintage and one-off designs, with its sister-act founders, Emily and Victoria, able to source special pieces for you. Now there’s an in-house line, Pome!, to drool over.
Tall order
Marcel Wanders has updated the classic wingback, softening its curves for this Gentleman Reserved armchair for Poliform. Its rich burnt-orange hue is understatedly sophisticated, with more than a touch of the Mad Men-era smoking room to it.
Glam rock
Searching for a radiator that doesn’t look like a radiator? Livingstone isthe name to know. Gransasso takes its cue from the Gran Sasso mountains – Italy’s tallest outside of the Alps – with its crumpled surface suggesting a coarse rock face.
