One of my favorite timeless design concepts: the print on print. While I like to mix and match fabrics with the best of them, there is something about a room where the fabric gets repeated – walls, drapery, upholstery – that I just love.

It can be bold, like in Valentino’s Roman apartment …
… or subtle, as in Jeffrey Bilhuber’s New York apartment.
