Scheme of the week

When creating a decorating scheme for a TV room or snug, you need to think whether you want it to be warm and cosy, cool and minimalist, or anything in-between.  Barneby Gates Ikat Heart wallpaper in Oxblood is a great choice for small rooms, with its trellis of Ikat dip-dye hearts in warm red tones.

Here it has been matched with a heavyweight Belgian linen, which interlined and trimmed with a pom pom fringe would both keep out unwelcome drafts, but also deaden noise and work so well with the wallpaper.

Finally a pile of cushions including Molly Mahon’s iconic block print would bring the whole scheme together.
