A Classically Modern Living Room

This was an early job I did - a living room in a Victorian semi. The deep gold-yellow walls are in keeping with the period but what keeps it from feeling too traditional is the fresh, light yellow above the picture rail and using contemporary metallic/sheeny fabrics for the curtains, sofa and cushions. The dark walls helped the client's art-work stand out and the strong accent colours add a bit of a modern punch.
