Take a tour around supermodel Tatjana Patitz’s ranch

French doors open onto a plant-filled outdoor terrace with a cushion-strewn daybed and views over the garden to the ocean beyond.

Furnishings are an eclectic mix of old and new, antique and bespoke, faded rugs, wind chimes, stacks of books, and swathes of fabrics in earthy tones and textures.

The living area is strewn with textiles and cushions. Wanting her home to feel as close to nature as possible, Tatjana removed the living room ceiling to create a double-height space that allows light – and the outside – to flood in.

Try Zara Home for cushions like this, and Maroque has lanterns.

Huge gothic doors add impact in the hallway. Tatjana uses the open space under her stairs for easy-access storage. By stacking decorative cushions and throws in this nook, even the smallest space is put to good use.

Tatjana has brought old-fashioned cosiness into her kitchen with a 1960s stove and rough-hewn sink, both from a scrap yard. Cupboards and shelves are made from salvaged wood.

The informal eating area, off the galley kitchen, is simple, with a long, oak dining table and mismatched chairs, from a local antiques sale.

The bed, with its carved headboard, is the bedroom’s centrepiece. Tatjana fitted a skylight so that ‘I can wake up to the sun and go to sleep with the stars’.

Create a romantic four-poster feel for a fraction of the cost with a gauze mosquito net. This light-as-air netting can be strung up in an instant, and is also less imposing than a solid bed, making it ideal for small spaces.
