b'a classic decor with a glamorous edgeDesigner Nicola Blackmore of Domesticity suggests this alternative scheme: I wanted to re-interpret this colourful living space as a neutral and contemporary style so I have opted for a palette of beige-grey and charcoal with a hint of black and chrome as accent colours. These are set against walls of soft silvery Resene Half Athens Grey. Because of the heritage details in the room, the furniture selected combines classic silhouettes which have been reinvented in a modern style. The existing layout works well so I have kept it the same, swapping one of the sofas with an armchair for more versatility. I have softened the appearance of harder surfaces by combining them with natural materials, such as linen, wool and whitewashed timber. The result is a classic-inspired decor with a modern glamorous edge.phone021 026 17843emailnicola@domesticity.co.nzResene MatchstickReseneTransmissionDiamond Coffee TableLe Forge www.leforge.co.nz 09 622 3137 Birds Nest Pendant Light ReseneAll BlackInterior Design OnlineMottled Rabbit Cushionwww.interiordesignonline.co.nzLuxury Linen www.luxurylinen.co.nz 09 307 6242Happy chair illustrationReseneDanske Mobler Malcolm WhiteHowlin Wolf www.danskemobler.co.nzTrestle ConsoleCitta Design www.cittadesign.com 09 623 9971Resene Alabaster27'
