This autumns Interiors show in Decorex London had a lot of soft pinks & blues, moving away from the greys that have dominated over the past few years. These colours are especially wonderful for creating a country french inspired space that feels light and uplifting, exactly what is needed as a backlash against the approaching winter.

This type of style appears effortlessly elegant yet artistic at the same time. Splashes of light colour tones with flora and fauna inspired patterns is a wonderful way to style a room. Among others we love Anna French's wallpapers and so do a lot of our clients to give their homes that je ne sais quoi!

We are loving the new lean towards woollen heritage checks with modern colour ways. Using traditional weaves with splashes of colour, we feel this is a look that will go on and on. Osborne & Little show these in abundance in their new collection. Some are a linen and cotton jute mix, which is a beautifully soft to touch fabric in traditional celtic tones of rust, heather and peat livened up with gorgeous purples, blues, zesty greens and magenta. We also show some classical colourways available from our Zoffany collection.

Add these checks to spice up a traditional space or to bring luxury to that special piece of antique furniture. Alternatively you can add a touch of timelessness to modern spaces. Either way a great choice for a classical investment piece with longevity.
