Colour below the screen
The cabinet makes one long band of oxblood along the right wall. A cushion repeats it across the room, so the colour belongs to the seating as well as the storage.

Oxblood in a Georgian room

Published
An illustrated concept for London Georgian sitting room.
A cream sofa faces an oxblood television cabinet beneath the tall proportions of a Georgian sitting room. Bare herringbone flooring leaves the centre open, while a single burgundy cushion carries the colour across.
See the product sourcesThe television has a sensible place in this London room: on a long, low cabinet opposite the sofa. Painting that cabinet oxblood gives the screen some company and brings a useful depth to the pale walls. In this illustrated Georgian concept, the tall sashes and cornice supply plenty of ceremony; the furniture can be more relaxed. A cream sofa, a small black marble table and a globe lamp make a compact group beside the windows. I like the uninterrupted herringbone floor, which lets the room's generous height register without adding another pattern.

A table within reach
The small marble table sits beside the sofa arm, leaving the middle of the room clear. Its dark veining and curved supports add detail at close range, where a cup and a book might land.
What to borrow
Give a television cabinet a colour with enough depth to sit comfortably beneath a dark screen. Repeat a little of that colour near the seating, then check the view from the sofa before deciding where art should hang.
