Take a tour around Terence Conran's family home

In the airy kitchen, the long oak table is an adapted version of The Conran Shop's Biblioteque, designed by Terence for this kitchen. The chairs were rescued from a decommissioned ocean liner, recently reupholstered in pale blue leather to soften the mood.

1/9 Kitchen-diner

Source similar chairs at John Lewis.

2/9 Kitchen island

Both Terence and his wife are keen cooks - as evidenced in the industrial-seeming island unit, built for practicality.

3/9 Kitchen shelving

Shelves provide a home for collections of copper pans, salt and pepper cellars and crockery. Find brick tiles at Johnson Tiles.

4/9 Dining room

Black Fischel chairs work beautifully with the Saarinen Tulip table, which Terence has had for a long time.

Find similar chairs at SCP; Geoffrey Drayton sells Tulip tables. The Rug Company has colourful rugs.

5/9 Living room

The sofa and rug in the living room are Terence's own designs.

The coffee table and chess table are by Benchmark, the Arco lamp is by Achille Castiglione: Twentytwentyone sells them. The room is painted in Farrow & Ball's New White and defined by Blackened on the ceiling.

6/9 Study

The ceiling in the study was lowered to create a more intimate working space; large curves for lights have been moulded, lending it a rather space-age feel.

Find office chairs like this at Aram. The walnut desk was another one-off by Terence.

7/9 Hallway

The French Deco metal table in the hallway was bought in the L'isle-sur-la-Sorgue flea market in Provence. The boxes store Terence's collection of butterflies.

8/9 Bathroom

The Victorian tub is a favourite place to escape to after a busy day. The basins are set into caramel-hued Italian travertine stone. Shaker brushes, found in an antiques shop in New York, hang in a row over the unusual 'hole' fireplace.

Victoria Plumb sells a bathrub like this, Stone Age does similar basins.

9/9 Customised chair

This chair was redesigned by Terence when it broke - he turned the arm upside down.

Find similar blinds at Hillarys.
