Polly's House
The Brief
Warm, soulful

and full
of life.
Set in the leafy heart of Surrey, Polly's home was designed as a true reflection of her character: warm, soulful and full of life. A long time friend of Jojo's, through the podcast and beyond, Polly wanted a space that felt deeply personal, layered with colour, abundant in green and unmistakably hers.
Our approach was to create a home with timeless appeal, functional and practical but never without joy. Colour brings energy to each space, while careful detailing keeps it elegant rather than fleeting.
Most importantly, the interiors were designed to sit hand in hand with the garden outside, allowing house and landscape to flow together rather than compete.

and the colour

The kitchen runs on deep olive joinery and warm marble, then breaks into a soft pink and cream checkerboard splashback that catches the afternoon light. Brass picture rails carry boards, bowls and a still life of pears, and there is always something from the garden waiting on the counter.
The Sitting Room

A wall of soft green cabinetry frames the television and holds Polly's books, pots and collected pieces. Arched garden doors pull the outside in, while a striped ottoman, jute checkerboard rug and a vase of dahlias keep the room relaxed and full of life.
“It is so completely me. There is colour and green in every corner, and the house finally feels as though it belongs to the garden.Polly
The Boot Room

open to the garden.
A cheerful, sunshine yellow boot room opens straight onto the garden through a glazed door. A wall mounted basin in brass and white sits beneath a hat shelf of dried flowers, hats and watering cans, with stone flags underfoot ready for muddy boots and cut blooms on their way in.
The Bathrooms
Colour, even
in the corners.
in the corners.
The bathrooms carry the same easy confidence as the rest of the house. Sage panelling, a green and white marble checkerboard floor and a gilt mirror sit alongside framed botanicals and wildflowers picked that morning, proof that even the smallest rooms deserve a little joy.
