‘The Living Womb’
Laurie wanted to create a sumptuous living room, in warm pink tones and used Pink Ground on the walls and ceiling, and a subtle contrast with Setting plaster on the skirting. He lovingly referred to the space as his Living Womb, the combination of the soft pinks created an immediate sense of calm. The generous proportions of the windows situated at both ends of the room, produced plenty of beautiful natural light, casting dainty leafy shadows across the walls and ceiling.
His mid-century furniture provided a vintage edge and was sympathetic to the 1960s architecture of his detached house.
The Pink Curtains
With such an expanse of windows, we decided to create something theatrical, which would also melt into the pink walls and create a seamlessness in colour but add a contrast in texture. Opting for double pick pleats for a formal feel, wall to wall and ceiling to floor velvet for drama, we made these luxurious full length curtains with Linwood’s Alpha velvet.
