Ever since coming across the image of the black and white tartan-covered staircase in Globe-Trotter‘s London shop (below), I’ve been completely won over by tartan/plaid flooring.
The drawing room of Rachel Riley’s home in Loire (above, from Vogue Living Houses Gardens People), while beautiful in its own right, owes its manor-born appeal to the little corner of red and turquoise plaid, the element that pulls everything together and gives the room a certain British refinement.
