Magical Nanny

Who could forget the blustery scene where Mary Poppins first flies in, by way of umbrella, and lands on the Banks family's white-columned stoop? The juxtaposition of Edwardian-era formality and off-the-wall whimsy is perfect for the playful traditionalist looking to incorporate classic design in a fun way. Taking cues from the 1964 Disney film, we're homing in on key pieces that characterize this decorating genre. Keep reading to see which modern market finds bring this look to life!

Thomas Paul Tufted Rug

While covering walls with damask paper was a popular trend during the Edwardian period, we like the idea of blowing up the scale and using it on the floor. This rug feels especially light and airy in pale blue.

Howell Wingback Chair

This chair commemorates the classic shape but feels contemporary and slightly more casual covered in charcoal linen. We especially love the contrast of the white buttons.
