Traditional meets contemporary in the pairing of tartan and tweed with seating in simple shapes. Neat tailoring keeps the look sophisticated, while deep buttoning in wool and felt adds extra texture to the scheme. The reflective quality of simple glass furniture, bold lighting and jewel-coloured accessories introduces a decorative finishing touch.

HOW TO MAKE IT WORK:
• A classic striped wallpaper in soft damson, complemented by the warm tones of a walnut timber floor, creates the perfect backdrop for a scheme based on rich tartans and textural tweeds and wools.
• Jewel-bright accessories inject additional colour and vibrancy.
• Glass table lamps and a modern glass chandelier add delicacy to the scheme as well as a touch of glamour.
• A Roman blind in a plain linen helps to reinforce the clean contemporary lines in this scheme.
