This season’s colours

Terracotta, sage and linen go naturally together: a light base in linen or ecru, a bold colour on an armchair or cushions, and a touch of brass for light. Keep one dominant colour per room and repeat it two or three times.

Choosing curtains

For a generous drape, allow a fabric width of twice the window width. Curtains should skim the floor (1 cm above) or rest on it by 2 to 3 cm for a softer look. A lining protects the fabric from sunlight and improves insulation.

Lighting a dining table

Hang the light 65 to 75 cm above the table top. For a long table, choose two or three pendants in a row, or a linear pendant about two thirds of the table length. Choose warm light (2,700 K) and, if possible, a dimmer.
