Chic Mixing

House and Garden UK

With the exception of an all blue and white room, I tend to favor rooms that mix pattern and color and look as though they were done over time. This vignette is a lovely example. The color palette is blue, black, white, yellow, orange, green, gold, and red. A geometric black and white floor partners with a floral wallpaper.

Chinoiserie elements include the beautiful green Chinoiserie wallpaper, a pair of Chinese vases, and more Chinoiserie wallpaper panels on the table - perhaps the workspace of an interior designer?

I really like the navy roman shades. I am lately quite drawn to dark window treatments - the 2016 DC Design House has black curtains in the living room pictured below. I went to the showhouse on Press Day and really enjoyed it - I recommend it if you are local.
