Designer Dream:<br />
Dawn’s Living Room<br />
We talk to Dawn Rose, founder of Ragged Rose, a British home and gift<br />
lifestyle concept, born in 2011 out of Dawn’s desire to create a signature<br />
collection of colourful floral prints and vibrant coordinating plains for<br />
practical, affordable textile gifts and soft furnishings. Her motto was and still<br />
is, “Add a bit of colour in your home and life.” Never for the faint-hearted!<br />

One of the themes I really love this season is an eclectic tropical botanical feel,<br />
incorporating shades of green and deep petrol with pink to bring nature indoors.<br />
I am always inspired by colour combinations using the backdrop of nature. With<br />
everyone’s focus on the home and garden and getting back to nature, green has<br />
become an important colour for interiors. Plants such as indoor palms, Sago<br />
plants and even Aspidistra have become increasingly popular.<br />
I adore the Regency period of around 1820 when the Prince Regent who<br />
became George IV developed the Brighton Pavilion with John Nash. This<br />
truly inspirational building was influenced by The Mughal palaces in India but<br />
also the decorative chinoiserie style found in China. They used hand-painted<br />
wallpapers depicting flora and fauna from the East with an exotic Asian twist of<br />
birds, leopards and elephants and combined this with lush tropical leaves and<br />
vegetation. The look was quite opulent with gilded pineapples and gold palm<br />
trees as well as birds and animal themes. The recent TV series Bridgerton has<br />
also helped to fire people’s imaginations with the glorious setting of that period.<br />
With this in mind we at Ragged Rose have launched a new animal and jungle<br />
collection this season, using lifelike digital prints on washable super-soft cotton<br />
velvet. We are using jungle leaves in shades of lime and emerald green with dark<br />
petrol, blush pink and a spot of leopard print. Combining this with House of<br />
Hackney wallpaper and a Loaf love seat sofa in blush pink brings this into the<br />
21st century. Add a classic Chesterfield in a stunning opulent green velvet by<br />
Darlings of Chelsea and an unusual table lamp based on animals or pineapples<br />
and that would be my dream living room! raggedrose.com<br />
