Following my family trip to Devon, it was only right that I mention Saltram - National Trust.
One of the finest examples of Georgian design in the South West, Saltram House is a wonderful lesson in how architecture, craftsmanship and decoration come together to create interiors of remarkable elegance.
From Robert Adam’s refined decorative schemes to beautifully proportioned rooms, intricate plasterwork and exceptional craftsmanship, every space feels considered and beautifully composed. It’s a reminder that the best interiors aren’t simply decorated, they’re designed as a complete whole.
While few of us are creating rooms on this scale today, the principles remain just as relevant. Respect the architecture, let each room have its own purpose, and create interiors that feel timeless rather than trend-led.
If you’re ever in Devon, it’s well worth a visit.
