'Invest in your staples, thrift your fun' is the fashion trick I'm stealing to help me decorate my home – here's how I found the perfect high-low balance

Maximalist living room pattern drenched in striped wallpaper on the walls and ceiling, gingham curtains, two vintage gallery walls on opposite sides and two matching white corner sofas with a mushroom ottoman stool.

The concept of a capsule wardrobe of staples has always been one that I've rebelled against. Because, as someone who used to work in fashion and has a severe shopping habit, it sounds boring, right?

Equally, a home full of 'staple pieces' doesn't appeal to my eclectic nature. I'm far too chaotic for such a hushed interior design style. But, just like our wardrobes, our homes certainly benefit from a balance of timeless and personality-packed, conversation-starting pieces.
