Sandra has travelled the world and her home is full of decor inspired by her travels.  Wonderful, unique, oversized pieces with style to die for, so her makeover had to complement, pulling together her lounge, dining and study with one cohesive flow.

Sandra's favourite colour is Farrow and Ball's Pitch Blue, a colour she already had with the study storage and dining room carpet, so when it came to refurbishing her furniture I mixed the Perfect colour match in chalk paint. using leopard print stencilling to give her furniture the wow factor.

For the formerly white lounge we chose to highlight the facing feature wall with a feature jungle woven linen wallpaper in a muted black and gold, updating 2 large display vases in cracked gold leaf over a black base to complement and adding a pop of red behind the log burner in the fireplace.

For Sandra's dreary study,we dispelled the myth that painting a small room plain white makes it look larger, adding the same wallpaper as the lounge, but this time in black on white.  The black gives the facing wall movement, tricking the eye and giving the illusion of space.  A north facing room, we warmed the remaining walls with a soft peach, the same tone as the yew furniture.

And Sandra's old pedestal desk breaks the sea of yew furniture with its new look.  The same blue from the storage cupboards, black and white leapard and gold detailing, all finished with new statement agate knobs.

When we'd finished Sandra agreed wallpapapering the facing wall in the dining room would be the Perfect finishing touch, as would a wallpapered wall in the hallway, so we're going back in April.
