How Should I Decorate My Georgian Home Today?
The sky is the limit with a Georgian home – whether you choose to decorate it in original shades and furnish it with simple antique furniture, or paint it in white and accessorise with modern pieces, you really can’t go wrong…
However, there are always going to be some don’ts – highly patterned paper, over the top schemes, rooms crowded with furniture and accessories are all going to drown out the beauty of the original features. The key is to keep it simple and let the architecture do the talking.
