Put a new spin on the classic circle design

It’s official; circles are the shape of the season. And best of all, its a trend that can easily be recreated in your own home. If you’re not sure where to start, you may like to use the circles to bring attention to an already existing feature in your house, like a bed, sofa or fireplace.

If you’re adding a focal point to an ornate fireplace, try combining delicately drawn circles in soft, pastel shades with three-dimensional accessories, like vintage china plates (any round object, like a cake tin or jar, can be used an outline guide for your circles). Or if you’re confident drawing free hand and want to make a statement above a sofa or a bed, try painting swirls in bold primary colours. Accessorise your space with fabric and furniture that feature circular shapes, like pretty polka dot cushions or a swirly statement rug.
