We imagined family and friends gathered in this space in warmth and comfort, with ample seating for all. The ceiling inside the molding detail is wallpapered and reflects the color tones of the large area rug. The spectacular sofa at the far side of the room was scaled to suit the size of the room, and the tete-a-tete chairs in front of the fireplace were our favorites.

Period rooms don't need to be painted with "traditional" colours. So forget whites and creams and try more distinctive colours. High ceilings can carry modern, bold colours. Accessories can really complete the look, copper vases set this room off beautifully. Wall colours Stepping Stone, available in Matt or Mid Sheen Breatheasy emulsion and Royal Ocean available in any finish from Crown Colourmix.
