PLEASINGLY PLAIN

We often dedicate pages and pages to bold new patterns, but there’s much to be said for humble plain fabrics, too. They’re the perfect way to pull together a well-balanced

decorating scheme. Linwood’s ‘Moleskin Velvet’ is a prime example. Available in 40 usable shades, from stone neutrals through to punchy ‘Pacific’ blue and ‘Turmeric’ (above, on the headboard), it’s free of harmful chemicals, stain-resistant, hard wearing

and washable, too. £33 per m (linwood.com).
