Looking for inspiration – easy updates and finishing touches<\/h1>\n\n

If lighting<\/strong> and flooring<\/strong> are the two most important elements when designing a home<\/strong>, then lamps<\/strong> and rugs<\/strong> are the most important accessories in the final decorating sweep. It\u2019s the time to focus on the finishing touches.\u00a0 Here\u2019s how to play with not just colour<\/strong> and pattern<\/strong>, but with your imagination.<\/p>\n\n

Decorating with light<\/h2>\n\n

Pooky<\/a><\/strong> is all about lamp love and decorative lighting.\u00a0 Like Alternative Flooring<\/a> <\/strong>they love a bit of quirkiness in the home. Sneaking an accent pattern or dash of colour into a room is great fun, but can often be a bit of a challenge \u2013 which is where rugs and lamps can be your friend. \u00a0After all, Pooky is a term of endearment, a pet name, isn\u2019t it? We asked Tim Doyne, one of the Pooky Directors, how it all began.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cPooky \u2013 sounds like Kooky, or perhaps it conjures up the name of your treasured imaginary friend. Whatever it means to you, we hope that it includes something colourful and quirky. We want Pooky\u2019s lamps and shades to help our customers inject little twinkles of colour around their interiors, easily and inexpensively. It\u2019s amazing what a difference it makes to change your lampshades<\/strong> now and then \u2013 just like a new rug<\/strong> transforms everything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n

There are some great lamps bases and shades galore. You can mix and match –\u00a0 pattern with plain, traditional with modern. Perhaps we should all pay more attention to the plight of the table lamp<\/strong> or indeed its floor version both as a finishing touch and more of a statement.\u00a0 Tim suggests opting for, \u201cThe Nellie<\/a> \u2013 a really simple ceramic base available in five bold beautiful running glazes. Pair it with a simple parchment shade and you\u2019ve got a stunner that\u2019ll make friends anywhere you place it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Styling with pattern and colour<\/h2>\n\n

Or you may be hunting for a lamp<\/strong> in just the right colour<\/strong> for your room. The bright sparks at Pooky make it easy for you be confident with pattern<\/strong> or be colour coded. Pooky and Farrow & Ball have got together to offer hundreds of shade and style combinations. Take your pick from 19 wooden lamp bases painted in a choice of 21 of the most popular paint colours from the experts.<\/p>\n\n

There are tips too about which lights to use where. Lamps are a favourite in the bedroom not just for a decorative touch but because they cast a softer, lower level light. This is serious stuff and we need Pooky\u2019s know how here. Tim again.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIn your love of atmosphere, colour and beautiful styling, don\u2019t forget the practical side to lighting. Use metallic shades and pendants when you need to capture the light and push it down in pools for work surfaces or reading areas. But use a gentler fabric and non-directional shades if you\u2019re trying to produce a gentler ambiance for entertaining or relaxing spaces. Little lamps are great in bedrooms but they can also find their place in the otherwise pendant world of the open-plan kitchen, where they can be discreetly tucked on a shelf to bring some gentle warmth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Rugs with personality woven in<\/h2>\n\n

Whether a new rug is an easy update or finishing touch, it brings colour<\/strong>, pattern<\/strong> and texture<\/strong> to a room and just like lighting, has the power to create a mood. \u00a0Customised rugs are another fun and easy way to personalise your home.<\/p>\n\n

Decorating with rugs opens up a world of possibilities. Whether they speak softly or shout loudly, rugs let you stamp your personality onto your floor. Everyone can have their creative moment with Alternative\u2019s Make Me A Rug<\/a> online.\u00a0 There are thousands of floors –\u00a0 wool, natural fibres, patterns and textures and border combinations to choose from. The new Alternative Flooring with Liberty Fabrics<\/a> collection with iconic designs making fabulous bespoke rugs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Watch our cool rug video starring the Mad about the House<\/a> interiors writer Kate Watson-Smyth who shows the five easy steps to creating your rug. In her home, Kate goes wild with the Quirky B<\/a> black and white Zebo<\/a> animal print with a dazzlingly bright pink border. Read more on Kate\u2019s blog How to decorate with rugs<\/a> and here\u2019s one of her top tips.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cFirstly, buy the biggest rug you can afford for the space. Secondly, in the sitting room (for example), a rug should be anchored by the front legs of the sofa (at the very least). A small rug under the coffee table that doesn\u2019t touch any furniture creates an island and doesn\u2019t pull the room together. If you have only small rugs then layer them up to cover a larger space.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n

As with lamps you can afford to be bold with rugs as it\u2019s easy to move them around to other rooms or even to change them seasonally.<\/p>\n\n

As Kate says, we change our clothes with the weather so why not some of our soft furnishings and accessories too.<\/p>\n\n
