LIZA LITHGOW’S STYLE TIPS

FOR MAXIMUM WAG WOW IMPACT

The Home

While WAGs lead a busy social life, they do occasionally entertain at home. And even if they don’t, what better way to unwind after a hectic game or a rowdy after-match function than kicking back in their cosy abode?

Here are a few tips to make your home entirely livable:

Make your entry-way inviting. When your guests enter your home it’s the first area they see. The entry-way should make a statement, give a hint of what’s to come and draw the guest into the rest of the house. Pictures on the wall are the easiest way to dress up your entry-way. Same with floor coverings. Hall tables are a nice addition as you can dress them with signature or eclectic pieces.

Experiment with glass. Glass instantly adds sparkle to a room. Experimenting with shapes and heights (vases, bowls, objects) is fun, and keeping them in the same colour palette is advisable. Varying shapes in like-coloured glass can be eye-catching.

Mix it up. Every object in your home doesn’t have to be an heirloom. If you like quality pieces, mix them up with a little kitsch. It’s okay to have your favourite collection alongside that priceless vase. The whole point of collecting is to have a passion for it, finding items you really love, so why not show them off? They’re a great conversation starter too.

Keep window dressings simple. Whether you go for curtains or blinds, keep them simple. Don’t let them overpower your furniture. Subdued tones work best but that doesn’t mean you need to skimp on quality. The simpler the curtain, the better quality the fabric should be, like linen, silk, cotton or satin. Understated elegance is the key to setting off your room.

Layer your bed. Your bed is usually the focal point of your bedroom and should be treated as such. Layering different fabrics on and around the bed (from a fabric headboard to lush linens) creates an inviting room. When layering, avoid clash of texture and colour by keeping it simple. Muted tones in green, blue and white work wonders.
