One of the most popular wallpapers, Malabar, is used here in white on a pale blue. A lovely fresh, clean look is created with a slight off-white paint, such as Architects White.

Roman blinds are ever popular, perfect if you have shorter windows or want less fabric on the walls. They can be a great statement. This Kasuri Fabric check complements an intricate paisley wallpaper.

A pair of angular Thakeham Armchairs, covered in a pretty blue velvet with contrasting piping in Arthur's Seat cream wool, adds extra texture and warmth to the room.
