1. Choose a coordinated colour scheme
A few bright colours added here and there give the home a playful dimension, such as a soft gym mat that adds a pop of colour without being too childish (plus you can fold it flat so it’s space-saving too). “You can create a pretty grown-up style with a touch of humour by combining a few harmonious colours with bold, child-friendly accents,” says interior stylist Emma Persson Lagerberg, who imagined this flat together with interior designer Emma Parkinson.
2. Create a flexible favourite spot
“With a smart modular sofa you can easily create a cosy spot for being alone. When you feel like being sociable again, just re-arrange the sections. Try to furnish close to the open windows, daylight and nature have a calming effect.”
