How to style a harmonious space
Our resident stylist and set designer, Eddy Langford, shares some of her favourite tips.
When designing a space, there’s always a lot to consider. And whether that space is our new studio set here at Corston, or your next project, the challenges remain similar.
The products you choose will all be designed to work alone, but to have maximum impact, they must also work in harmony with each other and with your décor.
We design all our architectural details to work perfectly together, which will give you a head start.

‘In the case of this new studio set, the idea was to create a minimal and versatile stage for our products that could adapt with our needs over time,’ she explains.
‘We have the main open space with its high ceilings, the garden space and an additional staircase on the rear wall which can be used flexibly.
‘From a styling perspective, I knew I wanted to lean into our collective admiration for minimalism and calm design. Bringing this together meant selecting and working around three core principles of style,’ Eddy expands.

‘The first was a muted colour palette, so no strong accents to distract or steal attention.
‘When working with muted colours, it's important to bring warmth and depth into a space. To avoid it feeling too cold, we opted for a warm linen fabric curtain.

‘The second requirement was an uncluttered and minimal space, which allows each element to breathe.
‘In this kind of space, every item should serve a purpose. It should be beautiful, tactile, and it should add something to the space without taking anything away.
‘The third requirement was to have an emphasis on texture.
‘This can be done by bringing in raw and reclaimed materials – I opted for a raw render finish for our walls – and complementing those with natural fabrics.
‘Bringing in natural materials, such as wood, can also add warmth and character to a space, while the addition of more soft furnishings, textiles and paint can change things quite dramatically.’
