Designing a room around an icon

I have longed for curtains made from the iconic Brunschwig and Fils fabric, Le Lac for a few years.

The chinoiserie print has a multitude of colors without appearing garish or overdone.

Designing a room with this fabric a the showstopper is easy, just choose your colors and go.

 There is plenty to choose from. Here is how I would do it.

The color cues are easy enough to trace.

1. Peach walls

2. Brown velvet sofa--remember my obsession with velvet?

3.Quirky green leather wing chair

4. Pair of Chinese styled stools- following the chinoiserie look

5. Oversized antique bird prints-- I just like them

6. Simple sleek tables and lighting-- glass coffee table, leather parsons console and chrome lamps
7. Classic Persian rug

Of course floor to ceiling panels in Le Lac, perhaps with a subtle touch of brown or red trim on the leading edge.

Unfortunately, at well over $300 a yard I will have to do without for now, but dreaming is fun.

Maybe yellow walls or plain grasscloth...
