Separate the matched look by uncoupling

LET’S explore the latest trend, one that amounts to the interiors equivalent of conscious uncoupling.

We’re pulling apart matching pairs of cushions, separating twin lamps either side of the bed or mantle piece, divorcing matchy-matchy side tables, and embarking on a passionate affair with mixing and mismatching to make your interior truly a reflection of you.

This is a look that will play to the established home interior aficionado who is hankering for the latest trend and has a budget to achieve it. Equally, the first time home-maker who is setting up a house or flat with a jumble of furniture and accessories begged from relatives and friends, can be thoroughly in-vogue with some careful planning.
