Covered in Comfort

Fiona Says: "I love large, bold overscaled damasks, but you wouldn't want to use large-scale patterns on a wall that is broken up with numerous windows, doors, and other openings. It can be disturbing to the eye if you can't see a full repeat."

In this room: A damask print envelops the guest room of this New Orleans house designed by Patricia Brinson. Rich balloon shades reinforce the cosseted feeling.
