As a lover of colour, this project was pure indulgence.
I was given free rein to use all my favourite pastels as splashes of colour against a classic background of light yet inviting muted tones. The gorgeous finished look proves just how compelling the juxtaposition of colour and neutral can be.
Clients are often wary of using a mix of colourways in case they overwhelm the senses. Still, the interior design in this lovely light-filled garden room demonstrates that when chosen carefully, a combination of colourful fabrics, textures, patterns and wallpapers can work in harmony to create a warm, welcoming space to relax in.
For the paintwork and woodwork throughout, we opted for the ever-popular Farrow & Ball in shades Ammonite, Purbeck Stone and Wevet. It’s easy to see why these colours are firm favourites – they’re understated, neither
too warm nor too cool and blend perfectly to create the calming feel this room demands.
Pops of pink, orange and green in the carefully selected materials and wallpaper contrast with the ivory and soft grey base colours used in the flooring and window blinds. The mix of velvets, linens and textured soft furnishings invites you to curl up on the sofa with the Sunday papers or simply enjoy a moment of mindfulness with views of the topiary gardens outside.
The pink theme is continued through into the bright and airy country-style kitchen, where key pieces of furniture add an unexpected splash of colour. Bespoke handmade silk flower displays adorn almost every surface, bringing the beauty of the outside in and ensuring a seamless flow between the kitchen, garden room and perfectly manicured surrounding grounds.
Accessorised beautifully with mirrors to reflect the outdoors and create a flow of natural light, statement light fittings, and eye-catching ornamental pieces, these rooms are the perfect embodiment of quintessential English country charm.
