'Mushroom' - a red-neutral that's great for warming up a room
Keen eyes might have spotted our ‘Broadwick St‘ wallpaper on Watchdog last night (not being investigated we should add). It’s a really fresh paper, great for creating a classic botanical feel. Use the Colours ‘Boxington‘ and ‘Slaked Lime‘ with it for a completely harmonius look.
Broadwick Street
Rococo Style Room
I’m impressed with the Victoria and Albert Museum site, which has some nice examples of décor from periods though the ages.
I’ve picked out my favourite, with the paints and textiles that you can use if you fancy re-creating the look in your own home.
Powderham Castle
Recreate this look with the very striking Polar Blue paint or Sky Blue, mahogany wood stain, and gold leaf or ornate gold accessories.
Rococo Style Bedroom
UKTV have put together a selection of ornate Rococo style furniture from various suppliers which compliment this style, with examples of chairs, cushions, bedroom suites, and accessories to add “decadence and a feminine flourish”. This can be found in their ‘home’ section.
