A trend to watch; Malachite

Along with the resurgence in glamour, high gloss and chinoiserie with the Hollywood Regency style has come a small trend for a new pattern; malachite. This pattern is a striking swirled design in rich emerald greens, creams and blacks.

  3. Hi Anna

    Loving it so much - can you believe when I moved in to my home it had floor to ceiling "malachite" colour tiles on the walls in my ensuite.
    it had gold taps and gold frieze too - very decadent. I couldn't wait to jack hammer those suckers off.
    It just wasn't the right way to use the green :)

    have a wonderful day and hope you are well

  6. Oh this is beautiful! Have always loved it, but so lovely to see so much of it here in one collection. Just read Loulou's comment. Can't believe she tore it all out! But beauty really is in the eye of the beholder! Virginia xx
