In proportion

These two images of a gallery (above) and cupola at the Victoria & Albert Museum demonstrate in a monumental way the power of height in interior spaces. The substantial columns only enhance that effect.






The two architectural models from the Architectural Exhibition Gallery at the V&A were only two of many that caught my eye. I had hoped to purchase an architectural model as an interior design piece, but these rather diminished those available in the retail sector.





Less monumental, but in proportion are these two images of the drawing room and dining room at the castle where we stayed in August, bathed in their subdued lighting. I so miss the ceiling height that these Georgian interiors offer, and which make any space very forgiving of whatever style or interior design you choose.
