To reinstate the original charm and classic details of this large Tudor style home, the client envisaged a touch of Cape Cod. The colour palette is formed on a neutral white foundation, accented by Dulux’s Goydor Green and Boulder Bay, with simple decorative brass light fittings throughout. These layers of soft teal, greens and blues provide depth and interest throughout the living spaces and upstairs bedrooms.
Through “our initial creative brainstorming we had come across a number of images of classic homes with a modern edge-ness to them. We were drawn to creating an interior aesthetic that was fitting to the style of the home but also worked with the interiors of now and beyond."
“The fabric selections were crucial to introduce texture and depth to the classic interiors, but they were also used to define the various spaces throughout.” Linen curtains in teal Satori Stonewash by Mokum provide softness, warmth, and a casual-ness to the grand 4m stud.
Central to the large open plan living space is the kitchen island; a strong, dramatic centrepiece. Modern textures bring cohesion to the design, beginning in the kitchen where a custom bar area boasting decorative wallpaper and a seat padded in Kirkby’s plush 3D triple-quilted Cloud fabric exudes glamour.
The tiled herringbone living room wall leads into the media room where the couch is made-up in Kirkby Beam. A contemporary twist on a traditional woollen upholstery, it is complete with a stain-repellent finish to ensure it is durable enough to accommodate teenage boys and their friends.
In the formal front lounge the deep coloured walls foster a sense of escapism. Designed as a retreat for the adults, the teal walls are softened by Lux Velvet curtains and Zinc Jacopo covering the window seat, creating a luxurious setting from the walls to the upholstery.
