Creams, whites, and muted beiges may be reliable, but how can we make them stunning? For Carole Middleton, the answer is found in a Tudor decorating trick: Wood panelling.
Wooden wall panels first appeared in European castles and manor houses around the 1200s-1300s, but became more elaborate and decorative around 700-years ago in Tudor England. During this period, richly carved oak panels were common in great halls and libraries, elevating flat neutrals into regal-like spaces that are anything but vanilla. Fast-forward to the 21st-century, and it remains Carole Middleton-approved.
