ELEGANCE IS ESSENTIAL Opulence is all about mixing textures and materials says Celia Sawyer

C

reating elegance in the home is something many people crave, but knowing exactly what to do, where and why, are no aspects to be left merely to fortune. Making the conscious move towards opulent surroundings in your home is about combining textures, materials and shifting to organic glamour.

DRESSED TO IMPRESS Choose the right accessories to finish a great interior says Louise Bradley

A

ccessorising and dressing of a room are an essential aspect of any project. Without carefully selected accessories a room can feel stark, ]VÅVQ[PML WZ I[ QN \PMZM¼[ [WUM\PQVO R][\ »VW\ Y]Q\M ZQOP\¼ )KKM[[WZQM[ ILL \PM ÅVIT TIaMZ \W I JMI]\QN]T QV\MZQWZ R][\ TQSM adding the shoes, bag and jewellery to a beautiful little black dress.

It is fascinating how something as simple as a vase, a lamp or a selection of cushions can completely change the look and feel of an interior. Which is why I have put together a tightly edited collection of accessories, to include a stunning range of lighting, soft furnishings and beautiful decorative objects in a combination of colours, textures, shapes and sizes that KWUXTMUMV\ IVa [XIKM# I KW]V\Za PW][M I 4WVLWV IXIZ\UMV\ or a faraway summer home.

This, combined with a change of cushions on the sofa in various textures, colours and sizes will alter the entire mood of a room. Light pastel linens in the summer work wonderfully for a fresh and airy ambience, switching to strong jewel velvets in the winter to create warmth and depth.

Grouping accessories symmetrically will also create calm and avoid an area feeling cluttered or overwhelmed with detail.

Island units and breakfast bars are becoming a staple for the kitchen, whether for additional storage space, to house appliances or act as a seamless divide.

As the concept of cooking at home has changed to become a fashionable trend, the desire for a hob positioned on an island unit has increased to encourage people to congregate in this area as the homeowner cooks food.

1 IU IT[W I ^MZa XZIK\QKIT LM[QOVMZ VW UI\\MZ PW_ JMI]\QN]T I [XIKM turns out, if you are afraid to use the room for fear of staining or marking up the furniture it is not a success.

The single comment that people most often repeat after staying at the chateau for a couple of days, is that while they were afraid that it was going to be a little overwhelming, they leave thinking that it is the most comfortable and relaxing place they have ever spent time.

Of course, part of that is the architecture and grounds, but I think that it is equally about the way that it is furnished. There is a sense \PI\ \PM ZWWU[ ITT KWUM \WOM\PMZ Mâ&#x20AC;ŤŮşâ&#x20AC;ŹWZ\TM[[Ta IVL \PI\ I KPIQZ NZWU WVM room could easily be used in another (and in fact, they often do).

THE GEORGIAN REVIVAL It was the most beautiful period in our history says Jonathan Sainsbury

A

s a period furniture expert and lover of the English country house, it pleases me no end to see a resurgence in demand for opulent, elegant yet comfortable furniture from those centuries when furniture was bold and beautiful. ?PQTM \P KMV\]Za N]ZVQ\]ZM designs, particularly those of Thomas Chippendale, George Hepplewhite, Thomas Sheridan and William Kent, could hardly ever have been said to be out of NI[PQWV \PMZM Q[ I LMÅVQ\M \ZMVL \W_IZL[ N]ZVQ[PQVO XMZQWL properties to their respective age and style.

Every day we are increasingly being asked to help with the restoration, reinstating and furnishing of country houses to their former glory in the UK and throughout the world. Our clients, who tend to be Americans (who were familiar with Georgian furniture long before Independence) and Russians as well as British, usually have a love of English furniture and the English way of life and want their interiors designed, decorated and furnished to suit the style of the property. ;W _Pa Q[ \P IVL MIZTa !\P KMV\]Za N]ZVQ\]ZM [W PQOPTa XZQbML NWZ \WLIa¼[ QV\MZQWZ[' =V\QT ZMKMV\Ta UW[\ XMWXTM _Q\P wonderful country houses to furnish would be hard pushed \W ÅVL WZQOQVIT IV\QY]M[ QV PQOP ^WT]UM <PM[M XQMKM[ ZIZMTa come to the market and when they do they are often well JMaWVL UW[\ XMWXTM¼[ J]LOM\ Not everyone with a wonderful Georgian property has a bank balance to match.
