SCOPE
Our aim was to make use of as many of the existing components of the cottage as possible, so we repainted the carpentry and made some minor adjustments. In the bathrooms, we overlaid the tiles and implemented cosmetic changes such as decoratively painting the floorboards as well as the woodwork. All of the soft furnishings were updated throughout.
DESIGN
A 17th century cottage in Devon, we wanted the interiors to be cosy and eclectic, whilst also being sympathetic to the age of the property. We mixed old with new and sourced a lot of the antiques at auction from around the UK. The cottage is a little jewel box, with a different colour scheme for each room, full of patterns and layers. A quirky home with uneven old cob walls and sloping ancient flagstone floors, we wanted the interiors to be in harmony with this.
THE CLIENT
A family with three young children.
