Claire has used a striking shag-pile red rug to create a focal point in the all-white scheme, and dashes of extra colour with a few cushions here and there. Her reproduction Barcelona chair is a striking addition to the simple bay window.

The all-white theme continues in the dining room; Claire found the table on eBay and gave it a coat of white gloss paint. She tracked down designer Kartell dining chairs to keep the theme light, while the glazed dresser is filled with her crockery collection.

Claire continued the glossy dark-wood flooring in the hallway into the dining room to bring a sense of continuity. A vintage Egg chair creates a snug corner in this space.

The kitchen has a neat U-shape layout, while open shelving helps the space feel open and airy. Claire's collection of vintage and retro style accessories give the plain white room real character.

A mix of antique furniture and new finds fill Claire's bedroom. She found the gorgeous bed frame at Debenhams and the traditional Welsh blanket was given to her by her grandmother.

Claire uses red all over the house to add vibrancy and warmth. Here in the bedroom, a glossy wardrobe and red feature wall work well with a traditional pine chest of drawers. A string curtain at the window continues the quirky theme.

In the guest bedroom, Claire created a feature wall with quirky pictorial wallpaper and a vintage quilt for the bed. A cast-iron fireplace, painted black, stands out in the cool scheme.

Exposed brickwork in the bathroom was disguised with brilliant white paint and the theme was continued with a modern counter-top basin and traditional vanity unit. Colourful bathroom accessories brighten the space.
