Interior Designer Matt Page shares his take on Hollywood Regency – one of this season’s key trends – and talks about the design icon who influenced the look.
“I was inspired by Dorothy Draper, who is famous for flamboyant yet reserved accessorising, sophisticated style, an exuberant use of colour and unexpected, ahead-of-the-time designs.”
