The zestful colour scheme and textural fabrics used to cover the squashy sofa makes the room both stylish for entertaining and comfortable enough for everday life. A sunburst mirror creates real impact.

The silk wallpaper has been mounted on panels instead of directly on to the walls, which means the couple can take them with them if they move.
