Come in to view the fabrics
Our signature collection of fabrics and wallpapers can be viewed in person on the first floor of the Richmond Showroom.
'When I approach a room I always go first for how it makes me feel, with colours and textures that sing. I want to create a relaxed look, and a layered look. A room with layers is like peeling back layers of history, which begins to make spaces that feel timeless.'
Pierre Frey - Jardin de Bagatelle
Decorated with flowering branches, birds and butterflies in the spirit of Chinese painted silks imported into Europe in the 18th century for fashion.
'This room harks back to a French golden era of Louis’s XVI, with the use of a French wallpaper and chinoiserie fabrics, but with modern colours. We don’t live in palaces these days, and so the panelling and furniture is more relaxed. The choice of a one tone gloss for the woodwork is for simplicity, juxtaposed with a band of ribbon... Don’t overdo it, I tell myself. '
Colours and comfort come together
'The chairs and seating is new and comfortable, and of a classic English style rather than French. We are in England of course! But looking to the continent we have chosen European items in between, new and old.'
