A light-filled cottage with a modern extension is reimagined into a richly layered and deeply personal home for a couple entering a new chapter. With a backdrop of white walls and a builder’s blank canvas, the brief was to bring in warmth, colour and texture creating a calm yet character-filled sanctuary that feels luxurious and lived-in.

Soft greens, pinks and natural textures wrap the main bedroom in comfort, with bespoke furnishings, grasscloth wallpaper and designer textiles adding depth and retreat-like charm. This refined layering continues into the walk-in robe, where beautiful finishes elevate the everyday.

And in a joyful twist, a pilates room with vibrant green wallpaper and sheer linen curtains adds spirit and surprise, a reflection of the couple’s lifestyle and love of colour. A home designed for rest, movement and everything in between.
