Cosy croft living room
Try a light, fresh and natural design that combines comfort with simplicity. This is the classic croft look which works so well, its style is copied far beyond the Highlands. By blending simple furnishings with natural light colours, such as cream and soft blue, the room appears simultaneously snug and spacious. But a big bank balance is not essential to create this classic look. Just a few tins of speciality paint can transform even a standard city sitting room into the heart of the home.
A key component of getting the croft look is tongue and groove panelling. It doesn't just look good, it is functional too. Extra layers on the wall means extra insulation - good for warmth and damping down sound! Painting panels is easy with One Coat Furniture & Cupboard Paint. Once the walls look good, don't forget to focus on the floor. It can easily be updated with Quick Drying Floor Paint. Using stencils, even first time interior designers can easily conjure up creative patterns. Then, harmonise the heating by revamping painted radiators with Radiator Clearcoat.
