Style your home this Summer with Ponsford

With longer days over the summer it’s the perfect time to look at the home and find ways to freshen up your living space before darker months and early nights are with us. This summer we are bringing you inspiration on how to design your living space surrounding a selection of stylish sofa ranges available here at Ponsford. In collaboration with Soft Option Interiors we are focusing on how chic and bold wallpapers and curtain fabrics can help you to achieve the interior of your dreams. This week we are starting the series off with the Alexander and James Utopia Sofa from the ‘Roots’ collection.

Bringing the outdoors in is a great way of keeping your interiors fresh and vibrant. The best way to achieve a touch of nature in your own home is by introducing green and neutral colour palettes along with natural tones and textures. The Utopia collection certainly does this as it adds unique detailing by mixing tonal fabrics, earthy colourways and leathers to give us a real feeling of nature.

It’s also great that you can make the Utopia truly personalised by choosing custom options such as plain or patterned fabrics along with a dark or light colour palette. 

Create an individual scheme with wallpaper and curtain fabrics

Wallpaper is a stylish way to enliven many living areas and add character to your space. The Pluma Jade wallcovering by Romo (available through Soft Options Interiors and shown above) is a great choice to combine with the Utopia sofa as it has a rich palette of deep tones with gentle accents within the pattern which would work well alongside this range.

As well as giving us an essence of serenity the Pluma Jade Wallpaper inspires us with its lively colours and unique design. Cushions on the Utopia feature green and yellow tones which will really work well with this range of wallpaper by bringing an added pop of colour and depth to the room.

When it comes to curtains, they can really bring a room together and combining the same pattern as your wallpaper is a great way to create coherence and avoid overwhelming your scheme with too many mixed prints. Soft Options Interiors offer fully custom made curtains and the Pluma Velvet fabric in Jade again brings out the neutral tones of the Utopia as well as transporting you to a tropical paradise with its mix of exotic flora and fauna.

Combine a more contemporary sideboard with playful maximalist fabrics

The colour palette within the fabric with its playful exuberance allows you to experiment throughout the seasons capitalising on the darker teal and green tones over winter and moving onto the lighter yellow and turquoise colourways over summer.

This makes the palette extremely versatile meaning you can also change up the accessories and soft furnishings over time. Adding furniture with a contemporary design will also help balance the maximalism vibe in the paper and fabrics. Just like the Ercol Amalfi Sideboard. With its modern aesthetic, it will ensure your scheme doesn’t feel overly traditional.  

So, consider a look full of vibrant colour and texture this summer. Be inspired by our Utopia collection and bringing the outdoors in with the help of Ponsford. Come and visit us and explore what can work for you.
