STYLE THROWBACK

THEN…

AND NOW

1946

Every issue in our centenary year,

we’re dipping into our archive to

find an inspiring image and put
a modern spin on the look

THE ORIGINAL We never cease to be amazed
by the timeless cycle of some interior styles. This
grand space has been brought to life with rich
colours, while an eclectic collection of hand-
painted ceramics and the decorative woven rug all
nod towards a well-travelled owner with artistic flair.

THE UPDATE We’ve kept the classic armchair
and found colourful ceramics that only require
a trip down the high street. While floor to ceiling
windows aren’t the norm, the window pane mirror
will reflect both the original style and the light,
and a bold Ikat rug adds a vibrant finishing touch.
