Living Room

Duck-egg and pale blue living room scheme - a large sofa along the back wall (to the right of the shot) in a soft pale blue linen. This London townhouse benefits from beautiful original mouldings around the high ceilings, and a stunning marble fireplace surround. We modernised the room a little by fitting sisal herringbone carpet; keeping it both fresh and a bit more casual. Styling the bookcases was such a part of decorating this room, as was choosing all the fun but soft fabrics; including all the cushions on that sofa. I love this little antique desk and chair in the desk space between the two high sash windows. We covered the desk chair's seat in a Romo linen (the same as one of the sofas) - in a pale dusty blue colour. The curtains are more duck-egg green in colour, and such a fun but soft pattern. The celadon gourd lamp ties it all together. I also love a bit of embroidery in my fabrics, which we get with that cushion you can see on the armchair.
