Charged with creating an inviting living space with a traditional Scottish look, designer Anna Duval used colors and patterns inspired by the home’s natural surroundings and her client’s heritage. "Soft earthy tones and grays allowed us to create a comfortable, natural, relaxed atmosphere; while burgundy red served as an accent, and came from the outer brick walls of the house and Scottish tartan of the Wallace clan (my client’s ancestors)," says Duval. "The materials used in the interior—Belgian linen, wool, natural and distressed wood and antique metals—also helped to accomplish the natural and relaxed look of the space."
