THIS SEASON IS ALL ABOUT WARMING SHADES OF BROWN – JUST STIR IN A FEW DASHES OF COOL AQUA BLUE FOR THEM TO COME TO LIFE
STYLING Claudia Bryant
RECIPE FOR SUCCESS
A large abstract panoramic in chocolate browns and saturated aqua blues – with hints of toffee and caramel – creates a striking piece of wall art in this open-plan living space with pale plastered walls and dark polished concrete floors. The backdrop is offset with sleek Italian furniture and crafted pieces in walnut to add a helping of informality to the luxurious vibe.
