Brightening Your Loft

With spring just around the corner, we'’ve been seriously thinking of ways to liven up our attic rooms and make things all lovely and bright. A few light touches here and there can really make all the difference, from the odd creative textile usage to clever flower displays and window dressings. It’s all about embracing the change of the season. So why not try a few of these ideas to create a warm, inviting attic room that’s bang on trend for Springtime 2015.

Sugar Ceramics

Looking like something between mother of pearl and a sugar-glazed gobstopper, these elegant ‘sugar ceramic’ style vases really convey an essence of chic in the most bright and modern way possible. A surprising mix of vintage and glam that would look great in your contemporary conversion.

Watering Can Flower Arrangements

These rustic watering can arrangements are beautifully shabby chic. What better way to utilise them than with some gorgeous, elegant flowers in a lighter complimentary shade - think tulips and daffodils.

Egg Sprouts

No, we’re not talking about everybody’s favourite stir-fry at the Chinese takeaway - although you’d be forgiven for thinking it. We are of course referring to these stylish, understated indoor plant pots and vivid green grass shoots. A perfect windowsill display if flowers aren’t your thing.

Milk Jug Flower Arrangements

Pale coloured containers like old milk jugs and water pitchers make creative flower holders. Fill them with an abundance of colourful posies for a breath of much-needed country air. It will definitely bring that springtime feel to your urban loft conversion.

Chunky Knits

When it comes to textiles, chunky knits are going to be huge this spring - no pun intended. These chunky, cable knit pouffes are a wonderful addition to a cosy attic hideaway. Stark pastel colours in neutral work best, especially if you want your attic room to retain that stripped-back bare and contemporary feel.
