Tannin-heavy walls

London interior designers BradyWilliams tapped into the trend for rich Bordeaux shades in this bijoux basement cloakroom of a South Kensington town house. A tip you can take from the interiors experts for a design-led feel is to paint ceilings in the same shade as your walls, which creates depth, statement and luxury polish.

Choose a statement piece of furniture

All-over vin rouge can feel a little intimidating and drown the natural light of a room. If you prefer an illuminated feel, you don’t need to shy away from clarets and burgundies completely. Here, BradyWilliams demonstrate how a slosh of deep claret can ground a lighter room while retaining  brightness and keeping neutrals and minimalism as the main focus. Copycat this look by adding a single piece of statement wine coloured furniture to an otherwise simple colour palette. We also love the subtle continuity with a stripe of colour on the blinds.

Mix up your textures

Create interest and a layered feeling within a single tone range by max and matching brocade, leather, polished wood and textured fabrics. To stop several pieces of the same shade feeling over done and colour co-ordinated, contrast high-gloss velvets with more matte-looking wools and linens, and disrupt wine colours with a pattern or incorporate background elements like panelling, wallpaper, or slick painted shutters by Shutterly Fabulous.
