The sofa is a bespoke piece made by Sofa Workshop, and the wall paint is from Fired Earth
Hallway
This clean-lined room, painted in white and muted hues gives the house a contemporary mood, yet the vintage finds add personality and warmth.
For a similar wooden cabinet, try The Cotswold Company. The picture is a Peter Blake original.
Dining room
The dining room floor is treated with OS coloured floor wax, available from Broadleaf Timber. Mismatched chairs add a quirky element to the room.
The letters came from salvage shop, Casa.
Hallway staircase
The walls are painted white to reflect as much light as possible (aided by the almost double-height windows or French doors on each landing). Up the stairwell are black-framed photos and junk-shop mirrors.
For similar vintage mirrors, try Harrison & Gil.
Bathroom
A clean, functional space that can cope with the demands of family life. The simple shape of the sanitaryware is enhanced by a pale walnut-veener bath panel and sink pedestal.
The wall paint is from Farrow & Ball.
Bedroom
An all-white backdrop gives this room a simple, minimal feel while creating the impression of space. Built-in shelving maximises the available space.
For plain cream curtains, try IKEA.
