Compton Smith Interiors, a family-run studio, brings craftsmanship and thoughtful design to every project. For this cottage in the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the team created a serene home that celebrates downsizing without compromise. Working closely with the clients, they balanced timeless character with modern comfort, drawing inspiration from the surrounding landscape to craft a warm, functional and deeply personal retreat that honours the cottage’s enduring charm.
