DOWN TO EARTH
In one corner of the kitchen , a blend of earthy pigments , calm neutrals and kaleidoscopically bright artwork is warm and smile-inducing . It just goes to show how impactful an unabashedly strong colour palette can be .
TRUE BLUE
Colours , textures and patterns thrive in the guest bedroom . The faceted wallpaper , whose irregular polygonal shapes give the illusion of relief . The deep-fluted , halfheight upholstered wall . The geometrically patterned Christian Lacroix cushions . The bright collages above the bed , by British artist Caroline Morgan . These elements coalesce to form one visually enticing whole , a little haven for friends and family to sequester themselves in .
ART HOUSE
Water colours , ceramics , line drawings , limited edition prints and embossed graphics enliven what could have been a dark and narrow hallway .
The brushstroke effect wallpaper adds another layer of texture and artiness to space . It ’ s an area that holds its own , encouraging anyone passing through to pause and take in its variety of art .
