"Both sofas and the curtains in the family room are covered in Chenonceaux, an ikat by Brunschwig and Fils. Another bold ikat covers the ottoman. Custom dining chairs by Chapman Radcliff are upholstered in Pierre Frey's Le Grand Corail. An end table from John Rosselli Antiques is topped with a blue-and-white ginger jar lamp from Hollywood at Home.

"In the three-room medieval part of the house, a spectacular geometric pointe de diamant grisaille was inspired by one in the tower of a medieval Bruges hospital. Demeyer had it painted on the walls of the beamed-ceiling dining room. Red velvet and Bruges lace frame a window. Gothic Revival chairs surround the table."

"Well-Lived: Belgian Manor" by Jean Bond Rafferty.
"[T]wo venerable Italian brands partnered to create modern variations on opus tessellatum, the classic technique of making mosaics from tile. Florentine fashion label Emilio Pucci mined its archives for standouts . . . to develop inspired patterns for tile manufacturer Bisazza. . . . The vivid panel based on the Collane pattern (1971) took six artisans more than 200 hours to fabricate, mixing small, uniform glass pieces with acrylic to create a sense of intricacy reminiscent of Roman and Byzantine mosaics."

"If you're shy of adding color (or rent your space and are unable to paint) take inspiration from this room designed by Eve Mercier. The Rothko-esque panels on the walls next to the bed are not paint, but vibrant silk.
Taken from the April 2012 issue of House and Garden."
"Paint walls with stripes for a fun – and cheap – take on wallpaper. This striped wall cost $120.
Homeowner Emily Norris found these vintage tufted bedframes for $80 and painted the frames but kept the gold velvet upholstery as-is. For drapery, Emily bought outdoor fabric off-season for $4/yd. and splurged on custom sewing."

How do you decide which paint color(s) to use in a space? David Oliver offers this tip -
How do you decide which paint color(s) to use in a space? David Oliver offers this tip -
"Choosing a paint color is one of the most difficult aspects of decoration to get right, as it has as much to do with the light source as the pigments used, and neither is constant. Using sample pots can help you avoid expensive mistakes, but you need the patience of an oyster to see how the color and light change from wet to dry and during the day and at night.One method I find helpful is to paint the inside of a wooden storage or cardboard shoe box. This helps predict how a particular color will change in a room with the different kinds of light throughout the day." - David Oliver.
