This Georgian cottage had been extended heavily over the years and needed to be brought together with a theme that was grownup and sophisticated, but also allowed for lots of grandchildren and family visits at the weekends.

Drawing on the beautiful countryside views that are visible from all of the windows, we created a scheme that celebrates all the greenery, but adds a few twists of plum and blue. We kept the wall colours soft, muted, and with a soothing warmth that flows through the house. We contrasted this with dark bronze ironmongery and electrical switching. The fabrics are organic but with luxury touches, using patterned and textured linens and velvets, which work beautifully with the existing art collection. We also sourced parquet flooring in a rustic grey oak, chunky textured carpets and rugs, and decorative cornicing and higher skirting boards to enhance the period features of the property. The new staircase suits the age of the house but the design was more elevated than the original staircase to add more luxury.

For the drawing room, a new limestone fireplace with contemporary chrome fire grate and a bespoke central ottoman were commissioned; and chairs were reupholstered with a subtle animal print. For the snug we used vintage velvets in rich colours and had the sofa and armchair custom-made to fit the space perfectly. Metallic studding in dark bronze is also a theme that runs throughout, from sofas and chairs through to bedroom headboards, for an extra touch of luxury.

It is now a home that can be passed down through the generations and stand the test of time.
