From the blend of heritage and comfort to cozy pattern layering, there is just something about British interiors. As British style returns to the forefront of fashion and culture, the UK's influence on interior design aesthetics is sure to grow. We turn to one of Britain's all-time style icons for inspiration: Elton John.
A photoshoot from 1974 shows the musician reclining on a black and white houndstooth lounger that defies sofa trends. Rather than dating the photo to a certain era, its traditional yet rock-and-roll sensibility makes the pattern feel utterly timeless. The statement sofa helps Elton's bedazzled sunglasses and gold shoes to look right at home. However, it's also easy to imagine the piece in a traditional British home.
