Downstairs in Sylvie’s home, the space is open-plan, with a seating area that combines flea-market finds and modern buys. Most of the art on the walls was created by Sylvie, who also revamped the coffee table by cutting out butterflies and sticking them to the top.


Dining area
A new extension made room for a dining area that leads out on to the garden. The walls have been kept plain apart from a few blocks of colour created by wallpaper. A wooden floor adds a natural touch to the scheme.

Garden
Fake grass and lush foliage has turned what was once just weeds into a stylish outdoor space. At the back is a home office, and to the right a treehouse, with a large decking area in between this and the house.
