Every home needs cathedral spaces and womb spaces –open entertaining space and small family space. The cathedral, or entertaining space can be an area intentionally kept clear or with easy-to-move furnishings: a large hall or salon, a garden room, sitting room or drawing room. Here the association with cathedral is grandeur through height and elegance without any need to be fussy, over-decorated or over-furnished.
This concept and feeling can be achieved in even the most unpromising of rooms by subjecting its scale and colours to some classic ideas and eye trickery.
