6/8 Bedroom
In the main bedroom colours are kept neutral and calm, creating a tranquil country ambience. The black headboard adds drama, without overpowering, while complimenting the exposed beams.

A classic dressing table is framed by the window frame and the imposing roof apex in the bedroom. The neutral leather armchair and footstool give this dressing area a relaxed feel.
This dressing table is from Living In Space, and the leather chair and footstool are both from Donghia.
8/8 Bathroom
Continuing the neutral colour scheme, floor-to-ceiling mosaic tiles on the walls give this small bathroom a crisp, contemporary finish. Underfloor heating provides cosiness.
