A pinch of spice

Makes all things nice, especially at home.

There's no denying it, a room finished completely in one tonal palette, however beautifully done and exquisitely replete with texture, could still feel a little one-dimensional, especially if the architectural framework is more London Victorian semi than Parisian Haussman. By which I mean, it probably has fewer inherent ornamental details to throw into the interiors mix (much can be forgiven if you have high ceilings and some nice original mouldings.) So what to do?
