STATELY HOME

Timeless interiors tend to focus on decorative pieces and looks you love, rather than what’s on trend at any particular time. So if you yearn for the grandeur and romance of days long past, look to authentic period details to replicate the feel. Here, reminiscent of French style, the fireplace surround, mirror, panelling and wallpaper set a period scene, with deliberately modern but comfy furniture muscling in on the act. PS, remember, colour can help tie varying styles together.
