Welcome home

The exterior's classic scheme – Dulux Domino on the walls and Dulux Vivid White on the door and window frames – provides an elegant welcome to visitors, and allows the ‘Black Caviar’ and ‘David Austin’s Sophy’s Rose’ roses to pop. The potted plants on the steps are Cineraria ‘Silver Dust’.

Kitchen

In the kitchen, ‘Junhua’ bevelled subway-style tiles from Designer Tile Company make a bold statement against black grout, as do the pale, timber-look ‘Natural Zebrano’ overhead cupboards by Laminex and the ‘Black’ Laminex drawers. Caesarstone ‘Shitake’ was selected for the benchtops.

Eve Wilson

Kitchen

An ‘M3’ ladder storage unit from Freedom keeps clutter under wraps and provides a quirky setting to display everything from plants to recipe books. 

Eve Wilson

Family room

A King Living sofa takes centre stage in the family room. A ‘Nizza’ wool rug from Halcyon Lake finds its misty match in walls painted in Dulux Tranquil Retreat, while a ‘Cast Base’ coffee table from West Elm keeps the scheme cosy yet contemporary. A series of Impressions on Indigo giclee prints by Vision Studio, found at Warranbrooke, enhances the warm, welcoming vibe.

Eve Wilson

Living room

In the living room, a ‘Plaza’ couch from King Living and Globe West coffee table rest on a ‘Middle Atlas’ Moroccan rug from Halcyon Lake, while Freedom’s ‘Aberdeen’ curtains add a warm touch at the windows.

Eve Wilson

Study

A beautiful painting titled Rainy Day Paris (artist unknown) is the undisputed hero of the study area. A ‘Wishbone’-style chair from MRD Home and a sleek ‘Hudson’ timber desk from Globe West are stylish and functional, as is the ‘Tile’ wool kilim rug from West Elm.

Eve Wilson

Dining room

Grounded by the light touch of a limewashed-look floor, the dining room has a ‘Canyon’ dining setting, comprising a solid oak table and chairs with user-friendly charcoal-fabric seats, found at King Living. An aqua vase from The Family Love Tree brings a splash of colour, while a ‘Chrysalis’ plant stand and a pot, both from Ivy Muse, score additional style points. For a similar wood-framed mirror, try Interiors Online.

Eve Wilson

Main bedroom

The delicate ‘Branches Black & White Trees’ wallpaper from Wallpaper Brokers provided the inspiration for this room’s overall decor and palette. Dark oak ‘Classique’ side tables from Globe West, illuminated by industrial-style ‘Bunker’ pendants from About Space, prove perfectly cohesive choices. A shag ‘Shiver’ rug from Bayliss Rugs provides softness underfoot, while a studded bed found at West Elm, dressed in sumptuous Bedouin Societe sheets from Fenton & Fenton and Cultiver pillowcases, looks oh-so-inviting. 

Eve Wilson

Guest room

Dulux Tiamo on the feature wall creates a soft and soothing backdrop in the guest room and is complemented by a romantic mix of pastel-hued bedlinen from Cultiver and Bedouin Societe at Fenton & Fenton and a ‘Hydrangeas’ linen cushion, also from Fenton & Fenton. ‘Vintage’ oak bedside tables from Sounds Like Home, a brass ‘I Love Desk Lamp’ from Fenton & Fenton and a Norsu Interiors silver-grey sheepskin rug create subtle impact. The Tantra Mirrors ‘Florence’ bedhead came from Jennifer Button Homeware & Giftware Agency and is paired with Jamie Cook’s Straight Forward print (for similar, try All Posters).

Eve Wilson

Bathroom

In the bathroom, high-impact ‘Honeycomb Black’ 23mm x 26mm gloss mosaic tiles from Designer Tile Company contrast with a floating light oak Polilife ‘Lunar’ vanity from First Choice Warehouse. A freestanding Infinite ‘Jordy’ bath, also from First Choice Warehouse, is the hero.
