Emma kept the furniture simple and plain to create a feeling of more space in her living room. A cream-painted coffee table and natural cover on the comfy sofa creates a rustic mood, with pops of colour from pretty floral cushions.

The dresser creates plenty of cottage character in the living room, while the pretty striped armchair provides the perfect spot for reading. Emma chose floating shelves in the alcove to add to the feeling of spaciousness.
