Repurposing and reusing...here an old armchair reupholstered in one of my favourite fabrics from @manuelcanovasparis⁠
⁠
What else makes the perfect reading corner?⁠
The cosy armchair, great lighting, a table for a cuppa (☕ or 🍷?), candles and a cashmere throw. Perfect!⁠

As we slowly return to work, the gym, the shops and the pub🍷🍺❄️, the concept of coming home regains its notions of comfort, relaxation and appreciation.

The most important part of our job is creating beautiful spaces for people to love and appreciate, and quite literally to make a house a home. ⁠♥️

Sourcing the perfect statement light takes some time - but this really was worth it. ⁠➡️Full view⁠⁠

This beautiful 😍 light for the dining table is within the new extension created during the major renovation of a 1930’s Bauhaus style house. ⁠ 💡Size and symmetry were important but the glass shades mean that the view into the garden is not obscured. ⁠⁠

Another look at this contemporary kitchen, with so much light and openness - the glass extension achieved this creating a modern, open-plan space allowing the light to flood in. ☀️⁠
⁠
Under shelf lighting gives a practical solution and the seamless resin floor is super easy to clean. ⁠
Function meets Style.⁠

With a beautiful clear blue sky and plenty of sunshine☀️, Spring is in the air .... continuing to bring the outside in, with this gorgeous bath with a beautiful view 🌳🌳. Introducing aspects of biophilic design by placing the bath directly in front of the window making the most of the lovely view across The Green. 💚⁠

An old one but a good one! ⁠
⁠
As the clocks 'Spring forward' looking towards to longer days, sunshine and good times. ☀️🍀🌻🌷Lots of new projects coming up whilst remembering one of my favourite old ones.⁠
⁠
This contemporary extension introduced light and modernity to a Victorian house, with sleek surfaces and a poured resin floor emphasising the desire for fresh simplicity. Using two frameless structural glass roofs to create a light filled room linking directly on to the garden. ⁠

When life gives you lemons🍋...although times have been hard, Spring and Summer are getting ever closer, and looking back through old holiday photos can provide the best inspiration for a new colour scheme. This was a beautiful Sicilian lemon farm we were lucky to stay on last year.⁠

Soft neutrals and beige tones pave the way for fresh starts and warmer weather as spring slowly arrives. Incorporating organic colour and vibrancy through budding branches adds to the growing vitality the new season brings - happy and hopeful.💚⁠
