The owners have restored this detatched villa in Surrey into an elegant family home. A restrained colour scheme and streamlined surfaces complete the sophisticated look.
1/6 Hallway
2/6 Living room
The low furniture and pale shades emphasise the scale of the panelled fireplace, which frames the seating area.
The armchairs are vintage Laura Ashley.
3/6 Kitchen
The white-tiled floor is the sort you would find in an airport, and is consequently very tough and easy to clean.
The kitchen cabinetry was designed and installed by Harvey Jones Kitchens.
4/6 Dining room
The kitchen-diner features a skylight that helps make the eating area below feel bright and airy all year round.
The bow chairs are by Philippe Starck at Viaduct.
5/6 Bedroom
The original two-bedroom layout on the top floor has been opened up to create an open-plan bedroom, sitting area, dressing room and bathroom.
The wallpaper is from Cole & Son.
6/6 Children’s room
White painted furniture and walls keep the children's rooms in tune with the rest of the house, while stripped wood has proved a practical choice for the flooring.
The antique wooden sleigh bed is from Pavilion.
