Rich fabrics, colour
and detail are the key to this look. Shimmering organzas
and silks are trimmed with beads or embroidery and sit against
natural wood tones, waxed to allow the beauty of the grain
to shine through. Wood clad walls are washed with subtle
colour, whilst tired chairs are painted to sit within the
scheme.
Pick up
on paisley with the latest soft furnishings in rich fuschias,
burgundy and aubergine. Keep walls plain and paint in soft
tonal shades or go for all out impact by echoing the motif
with random stamping or stencilling - a great way to use
left over paints. Set against rich, dark stained or painted
boards.
Take inspiration
from that bollywood staple, the sari, now being used to
create many of this season’s hottest soft furnishings.
Pick out one colour from within the design to paint walls
or woodwork, then echo detailing on surfaces and accessories
using the latest metallic gold or bronze paints and sprays.
