Kitchen/Diner

The white walls and matching units in this kitchen give it a light and airy feel. The compact island unit adds a contemporary touch and provides some handy extra space for food preparation or serving.

Living room

The wooden beams in this living room combined with the log stove give it a really cosy feel. The neutral furniture is combined with dark wooden touches and splashes of blue.

Dining area

We love the combination of the wooden bench and chairs around this rectory style table, which fits in perfectly with the country look of the house.

Hallway

The sideboard and hooks in the hallway look fab and are practical, too. The slate floor is also really functional as it's easy to wipe away muddy welly marks.

Stairway

The wooden elements in the house stand out against white walls. The addition of a few bold mirrors create a strong look.

Bedroom detail

Pops of colour are provided in the bedroom with bright vases, lamps and cushions. These are enough to add decoration to the simple white colour scheme without going overboard.

Children’s bedroom

The children's bedroom has also been decorated in muted tones, with hand-painted wooden furniture. The purple mat on the floor adds colour to the scheme.
