House & Garden

It's the mix of textures rather than colour which brings this formal living area alive. A glossy wall, finished in two-pack polyurethane, makes a wonderful contrast to the deeply tufted rug and white leather on the sectional sofa and dining chairs. A painting over the sofa ties the room's colour and textures together, giving the space a dramatic focal point. (Image from 'Sanctuary', published by ACP Books).
