A simple way to add colours is to replace your regular upholstery with traditional prints and your traditional rug to a modern rug. Embroidered tableware and rustic hues will add a luxurious edge to table settings. Don’t forget the gold! Instead of bright yellow hues, opt for more subtle rose gold sheer textures.
