I picture this beautiful painterly work by Cheryl Richardson above a relaxed bed layered in fresh French linens from Greenhouse Interiors in a black pinstripe, with a casual rattan bedhead from Love Tree Interiors. I imagine VJ panelled walls in a soft sage green, with the bed atop a vintage Afghan Kandahar rug high on texture and comfort underfoot. Add a handblown glass Due Bubble Wall Light sconce from Mark Douglass Design fixed to the panelling, with the textured boucle Reeno Bench from grazia&co. The result? A cleverly blended room of old and new, rustic and luxe, all underpinned by Richardson’s high octane LAVENDER LAKE.
