Get the Look: Antiques and bold colours for a trendy, retro home

Accent

Kasia has used accent pieces to introduce pops of colour to her largely neutral scheme. These bold pink velvet cushions add both visual interest and texture to the plain white Ikea sofas. Velvet cushion, Dh75, Zara Home stores nationwide

Practical

By storing bright bedlinen and blankets in a glass-fronted cabinet, Kasia has made a storage solution an attractive focal feature. Hemnes cabinet, Dh1,475, Ikea

Versatility

Classic simple table lamps are a clever decorative touch to bridge the gap between vintage and contemporary. Denab table lamp, Dh169, Home Centre stores nationwide
