Traditional Details

Patterned living room

Strong contemporary colours bring traditional patterns and materials up to date. In this living room, a floral Designers Guild wallpaper is given a modern twist with shades of black, taupe and beige, while cushions in damask, linen and silk add blue, chocolate and violet tones. Bead trims bring a touch of contemporary glamour. A Crucial Trading boucle sisal carpet grounds the scheme and stops the patterns becoming overbearing.
