Fabrics are sumptuous
and tactile, with deep pile velvets trimmed with elegant
beading, set against thick woollen chenille throws. Walls
are painted in neutral warm grey shades to accentuate the
injection of colour, whilst a coffee table is spray painted
in the deepest of blues.
For tradition
with a twist, walls are panelled using strips of mdf, glued
in place, and painted in dramatic dark plum. Floors are
left bare or painted in rich tones, whilst existing furniture
and accessories can be updated with metallic paint finishes.
Accents of rich red and golden beige complete the look.
Strong
simple lines are the key to the modernist interpretation
of this warming scheme. Subtle greys and taupes, highlight
blocks of plum, whilst retro-style motifs such as circles
and squares can be stencilled or stamped onto walls and
furnishings to enliven the scheme and co-ordinate with matching
soft furnishings.
