The cool azure green of this damask wallpaper creates a summery look in this living
room. A large, comfortable contemporary sofa has a white linen frame, but the seat and back cushions in a sumptuous velvet, accessorised with minty green silk cushions, add a rich feel. White accessories tone down the effect of the striking wallpaper, while a herringbone carpet adds warmth.

HOW TO MAKE IT WORK
• When using a busy pattern on the walls, plain colours will temper it.
• Lightweight, sheer linen curtains help keep the room bright.
• Sumptuous upholstery and cushions make an angular sofa more inviting.
• As well as having a luxurious feel, leather upholstery is extremely practical.
