Dining Room, Entry, Living Room
Woodford Place
Ochre trellis wallpaper, a teal cornice and a dark trestle table, in a dining room built for long dinners.
A powder room is used in short bursts, which makes it the right place for a wallpaper you would tire of anywhere else. Here it is a pale blue botanical, with a cane-framed mirror and a white pedestal sink keeping the footprint small.
Polished nickel cross-handle fittings and a white tole leaf sconce carry the period feel without tipping into pastiche, and a milk-glass vase of hydrangeas is the kind of detail that makes a small room feel tended.
The study next door takes the same approach at a lower pitch, since it has to be worked in all day.
