Another post, another room. This time looking at the sitting room.
This room has a lot going on in terms of colour and pattern, but I think it works. It contains my favourite thing which is this black Mora Clock I bought a couple of years ago. It’s also one of the rooms where I have painted the walls, doors and ceiling all the same colour. I don’t think that’s something you immediately notice when you walk in and you’d assume it would make the room feel small or dark. However, the impression is (I think) of greater height because you don’t create a hard stop at the top of the walls with another colour. A bit like horizontal stripes making you look shorter and wider!
These yellow and red cushions are made from some fabric I bought down the road in Peckham.
These pictures are actually embroidered but me in front of the TV in the evening. They are the last eight Prime Ministers.
I love this chap. I bought him in the sale at Anthropologie.
And my growing collection of Fat Lava pots…..eBay is a dangerous thing.

Can I be a cheeky monkey and ask where you got the rug? I’m struggling to find ‘sophisticated’ rugs… Love the mix of colours in this room.
You can indeed! It’s actually from ikea and I am pretty sure they still do them. It’s a great rug and really good value – I love it.
Thanks. Amazing, I never go to Ikea to browse… It stresses me out! I may have to though as the current forerunner is Anthropologie and I’m not sure the bank manager would approve…

The rhinoceros’ head on the wall… I L-O-V-E IT. And there is a small detail about the radiator, I have never seen one with such a texture, it looks like creamy. I really like the texture. Excellent blog, congratulations!!!
Lovely photos in throughout the blog. Each photo is indeed a piece of graphic art. This room seems so cozy! Congratulations.
Nice post. I like color combination of cushions.
