The Brief

Soulful, romantic,
made for
everyday.

We took this new build property and transformed it into a soulful, romantic and elegant family home, with a little whimsy scattered throughout. Our wonderful clients wanted a total refresh: a complete reconfiguration and refurbishment that would turn a blank, builder finished house into a functional, comfortable space made for everyday living.

Inspired by the surrounding Yorkshire countryside, we opted for soft, organic and autumnal colours, layering natural materials and honest textures into a timeless scheme this wonderful family can enjoy for years to come.

Tongue and groove panelling, two tone checkerboard stone and hand painted joinery give the rooms a sense of age and permanence, so that nothing feels new, even though almost everything is.

The Kitchen

Olive green,
built to cook.

The heart of the house is a generous olive green kitchen, hand painted and topped with veined marble. A brass railed range sits centre stage under holophane and reeded glass lighting, while a marble fronted sink looks out over the fields. Tan leather stools pull up to the island, ready for breakfast, homework and everything in between.

The Sitting Room

Layered,
lived in, warm.

In the sitting room a marble fireplace anchors a pair of clay and rust sofas, with arched alcoves either side dressed in antique pottery and books. An amber glass pendant throws warm light across the room in the afternoons, and a striped ottoman doubles as a table for trays, flowers and feet. It is the room the family lands in at the end of the day.

“
It feels like it has always been ours. Every room is calm and every room gets used, which is exactly what we asked for and somehow more than we hoped.
The Clients

The Garden Snug

A quiet seat
under the sky.

Off the garden room sits a small snug, gathered around a striped sofa and a clover shaped velvet ottoman in burnt amber. Roof lights and café curtains keep it bright but private, and a rush side table and potted greenery soften the corners. It is the spot for an afternoon book or a slow coffee while lunch comes together next door.

The Principal Suite

Soft light,
gentle colour.

The principal bedroom is calm and unhurried, with a carved timber headboard set against panelled walls and layered linen in chalk and oatmeal. A run of tongue and groove leads through to the ensuite, where brass, marble and a hint of pink ticking keep things characterful. Cut flowers from the garden finish almost every surface.

The Children's Rooms

Tucked into
the eaves.

Upstairs the children's rooms make the most of the roofline. A built-in bed sits in an arched ochre nook with sage joinery, rush pull handles and bear shaped baskets on the steps, while scalloped headboards and striped lampshades bring colour to the bedrooms next door. Each has its own checkerboard bathroom, playful but never overdone.
