This was our first large-scale project, so it holds a really special place in my heart. The house was only built in 2021, but the facade gives nothing away, and then you step inside and it’s full of colour and personality, which is exactly what we wanted.
Our clients were a young family who of course wanted everything to feel comfortable and family-friendly, but also elegant and a little unexpected. We landed on blues and greens running through the house, with warmer tones woven in here and there, so it all feels connected without ever feeling matchy.
My favourite space has to be the formal sitting room, heavily panelled and painted in the softest plaster pink. It’s north-facing, so I knew straight away that a plain white would just fall flat. The pink gives it that “hug while you sit there” feeling, and the curved sofas and rounded ottoman make it properly practical for a busy family with kids running about.
Then there’s the kitchen, which is the complete opposite: a deep navy with kit kat tiles for a little Japanese touch, pale wood on the island and larder to keep it warm, and olive green stools that tie in with the garden views.
This house has got real personality and a bit of cheekiness, and honestly it’s one of the warmest places to come home to.
