A few junk shop finds and some eclectic paintings add interest to this neutral hallway scheme

The hallway doubles as a study area, with painted tongue-and-groove panelling to add character. The floorboards were sanded down and treated with Swedish white wax oil, creating a lighter, brighter feel.

A vintage Aga works perfectly with an all-white scheme in this kitchen. A blackboard adds interest, while the arrangement of bottles creates a rustic feel.
