The Conran Shop - Part 2

The Conran Shop – Part 2

See what arrangements can be created in The Conran Shop, one of Gabby's favourite shopping destinations.

Playing with What Catches Your Eye

Don't forget, you can bring in some different coloured napkins. Put them in and see how everything works together. You can really mix the colours up.

Plain white plates, linen and silverware are a great base to start with, and then you can bring in other colours. You really can't go wrong if you are working with a palette. White is a brilliant trick for calming things down if you feel things look too chaotic. The other great thing about this room is that the cutlery is all on display, so you can pick pieces and see how they feel.

If you don't want to commit to colour in glasses or plates, you can bring it in with flowers, candles and fabrics.
