As part of the ongoing refurbishments at the Lake country house and Spa, I was asked to redesign the Eugenie Suite.
Taking my inspiration from the nameof the room I chose to decorate in the style befiiting a prussian empress.
Many of the design elements of the of the room are from 17th century European Grand era.
I used an archive wallpaper in grey and deep cream and black . most of the furniture is heavily gilded , but offset in rich grey silk upholstery.
By using the reverse side of a printed cotton fabric,and teaming it with a soft striped silk, I was able to create a faded grandure to the drapes in the suite.

The style is strengthened by the use of black silk shades and black picture frames and the luxuriously embroidered deep grey silk cushions.
I think if you slept in this room , you certainly could image life as the Empress Eugenie
