It's official: Lee Radziwill's '60s living room proves that 'pattern-drenching' is utterly timeless – it's still breathtaking half a century later

Last year, there was color drenching, and now, there's pattern drenching. Similar to its predecessor, the trend recommends covering everything (walls, ceiling, and furnishings) in a pattern. Although it's a new trend, trends tend to emerge from older ideas.

A photo of Lee Radziwill's London living room in 1966 is proof. The photo, captured by Cecil Beaton, shows Radziwill and her child perched on a Persian-style sofa, surrounded by paisley cushions, against a similar chinoiserie background.
