We have been struck recently by the appetite for traditional tapestries in contemporary interiors. As trends go, we wholeheartedly approve and long may it continue! It’s a great look and one that chimes with the Zardi & Zardi brand. 

Working through a sequence of internal and external restoration projects included the South Front, North Hall, Blue Room, State Library, Marble Saloon, with the two most recent projects - the State Drawing Room and the State Dining Room – requiring the specialist expertise of Zardi & Zardi.

Thank you to The English Home team for featuring Zardi & Zardi in the September issue - a fantastic way to celebrate 20 years of trading!

The term ‘shiplap’ comes from its original use insulating and protecting ships against harsh weather before being used as external building cladding.

We’ll show you how to balance the two aesthetics, creating a strong, highly curated look that still has bags of character. Create as much space and light as possible, whilst drawing the eye to unique textures and layering throughout the interior.
