Hollywood Makeover

The dining room is particularly jewel-like, with gold-leaf ceiling and an 18th century Italian chandelier suspended from a starburst plaster medallion. Shimmering effects are enhanced by a crackled porcelain wall covering inspired by Chinese celadon ceramic ware. Timothy chose a silk woven damask in a contemporary design for dining room draperies and trimmed them with traditional tassel fringe. “I was trying to achieve classic design with a twist. It is classic and traditional, but there is a freshness as well about the whole house.” Corrigan says. The chairs designed by Billy Haines are covered in Clarence House coral velvet.
