Katie from Studio Humbug gave us her top tips for designing a room that feels unique and full of character ✨
1. Pick your hero pattern ⭐️
This is going to be the backdrop to the space, choose something that draws you in and that you genuinely enjoy looking at.
2. Incorporate a stripe! ✍️
For Studio Humbug, this is an essential step! In this room, Katie has chosen a classic stripe with colours that complement the primary pattern whilst keeping the space grounded.
3. Choose a paint colour for your woodwork 🪵
Your colour choice here is also a chance to complement and contrast with your patterns. The goal is to create a cohesive space but have fun and experiment with it.
4. Vintage and antique pieces 🪑
These add to that lived-in feel, helping to create a space that feels organically evolved. Katie here has included an antique armchair which she’s reupholstered, and a vintage chest of drawers.
5. Something personal 🧸
The finishing touch which solidifies the character and personality of the space. Photographs, memories, heirlooms that add to that timeless effect and create that sense of uniqueness.
The beauty of Katie’s style is that it’s fun, free and allows for space to experiment and create new and exciting combinations. There is no doubt that in doing so you’ll end up with a space that feels truly one-of-a-kind.
