Create a classic look

Get a timeless look with a formal layout and traditional damask-print wallpaper and accessories

The layout

  • Choose a formal arrangement with the sofa and armchairs either side of the fireplace.

  • Place the coffee table in the centre and the bookcase in the alcove for a classic layout.


Accessories

  • Glass, mirror and silver will add sparkle and a touch of glitz to oak and leather furniture.

  • An oriental-style rug will perk up a neutral carpet.


Pattern

  • Use wallpaper with a traditional pattern, such as damask, to give the room elegance.
