Inspiration: Metallics from Harlequin

Browsing through British wallpaper manufacturer Harlequin's collection, we saw a lot of metallic prints paired with both modern and vintage furniture in simple, spare roomsets. Balance is the key to using metallics without making a room seem like Donald Trump decorated it...

In these photos, intricate wallpaper patterns are balanced by just a few furnishings, shiny finishes are balanced by natural textures, and busy prints are balanced by solid upholstery fabrics. For more from Harlequin, click here.
