While true to classic design, this living room shuns formality by dressing its plump down-filled seating in roomy slipcovers. Instead of being centered on the bookcase, the sofa slides to one side but is balanced by the chunky round table in the corner.

Four uncoordinated prints, a complicated oriental carpet, an embroidered stool and a heavily decorated oriental panelled screen subside gently into each other in an eminently comfortable rural sitting room.

Traditional furnishings combined with Contemporary glass walls and a fascinating piece of Modern metal sculpture are tied together, decoratively, by the warmth and quiet dignity of full traverse draperies hung ceiling-to-floor, wall-to-wall.
