Take inspiration from this New England-style home

The owner kept to a restful, neutral scheme in the living room. The coffee table was repurposed from an old butcher’s table. The hessian cushion covers add to the rustic country feel.

A soothing neutal palette is continued into the bright and sunny dining room. More vintage accessories create an eclectic feel, adding character to the modern property.

Oh So Vintage

To cope with their growing family, the owners knocked out a utility room to create more space in their kitchen. The Shaker-style units were made by a carpenter to their design. The slate floor tiles and open shelving add to the country feel.

A butler’s sink, enamel caddies and a red ticking blind create a country feel in the kitchen. An Islington bus sign provides an urban touch. The owners love New England style, so they opted for tongue-and-groove panelling around the wooden worktop.

A corner in the kitchen has been turned into a country-style breakfast room, complete with a painted bench and a bistro table. The tongue-and-groove splashback has been extended into this area to link it to the kitchen.

From the breakfast room, you can see into the hall where more New England-style wood panelling adds character.

Painted Wall Panelling

Panelling behind the bed adds visual interest in the main bedroom and creates a feature without the need for colour or pattern. The wrought-iron bed and floral curtains bring out the country feel in this room.

Rather than decorating with pink, the owners painted this girl’s bedroom in a tranquil soft blue. White-painted furniture gives the room grown-up vintage style.

Sofa & Home

In this boy’s bedroom, the homeowner went all out to create an Americana theme. A Cape Cod-style wooden bed takes centre stage, while a Stars and Stripe flag, barn stars and quilt cushions add to the look.

In her home office, the owner has created a ‘working wall’ of bits and pieces that she has collected on her travels for both decoration and inspiration.
