On the straight and narrow548 viewsIvy or tickey creeper can be trained on walls either to create a green curtain or sculptural design. It is important to clip these creepers regularly to maintain the shape. Here, in this narrow space beside a garage wall, topiary trees of small leafed fig add an extra dimension. To help ivy stick to a wall it needs a rough surface; stipple the wall with a cement mix, using a special stippling mechanism available from hardware stores; alternatively use string or wire in the desired pattern.

Working with her client's existing metal bed and country-style armoire, which houses the television, Heather began with a palette of stone, chocolate brown and aqua. "The key lay in layering several beautiful and contrasting textures." Take the quilted linen night frill, luxurious faux fur throw and oversized velvet scatters, anchored by the multi-toned damask fabric." Published: October 2011, Photograph: Christoph Hoffman
