To me, Veere Grenney is the master of understated and eclectic elegance. In his own home he has mixed periods with everything ranging from a 50s knoll table and french pieces to collection of islamic art. He makes subtle references to traditional English decorating with the use of abaca rugs and pops of chintz. Now this is chintz i can live with!
Notice classic Colefax and Fowler Bowood on the impeccable french fateuil in his bedroom. What I love about Bowood is that it works as a neutral while adding visual interest. It contrasts nicely with the black leather and dark Jansen desk.

In another view of his bedroom you can see how Grenney actually mixes a number of prints including Robert Kime's Jardinieres on the chair and his own design, Ferne Park on the canopy. I love the way he mixes prints and creates a very serene and sophisticated space.
