I happened upon this image of a woman arranging dahlias in the 18th century Tangier home of architect, Roberto Peregalli and I was struck by the deep red of the flowers against the watery blue of the housekeeper’s uniform. It’s a regal colour combination, and one we don’t see nearly enough. The entire house is featured here, with Tuareg blue, inky blue and vermillion weaving its way throughout.
