Only one week left to grab your copy of the March issue of The World of Interiors, and fall in love with the home of the late, great Jocasta Innes. To turn this former bedroom off the first-floor landing into a dressing room, Jocasta had a set of cupboards built for her by her semi-resident carpenter, and painted them orange and black to resemble Chinese lacquer.
