Dining room

‘Although it’s been tricky over the past couple of years, we love to socialise and throw dinner parties, so having a formal dining room suits us. I’d always planned to add wallpaper, but the neutral design I earmarked wasn’t available because of production issues. Then I stumbled across this pattern from Graham & Brown and I knew it would look amazing. It was also the starting point for the orange and green colour scheme. The black frame gallery wall works well against the orange and balances the bright colour. It’s made up of black and white family photos and it’s been evolving for years – a long time before we moved here.’
