A colourful and eclectic Cotswolds cottage

Posted on Tue, 24 Oct 2023 by KiM

This drop dead gorgeous cottage in the Cotswolds is the weekend home of designer/decorator couple Duncan Campbell and Luke Edward Hall. Full of colour, exuberance, whimsy, and an unparalleled eclecticism, this home is so freaking fabulous I can hardly stand it. If you ever thought about getting a second home thinking it would be a great excuse to try out colours that you don’t have the nerve to use in your primary home, here is proof that you need to make that happen! (Though as you will see in an upcoming post, this talented duo went as crazy with colour in their primary residence). Photos: Miguel Flores-Vianna & Billal Taright.

This four-bedroom home seamlessly blends fun and functionality by preserving its heritage while embracing modern design. The transformation incorporates period detailing and fluting, uniting the past with contemporary living. Through a vibrant colour palette and collaboration with local artisans and international designers, the house exudes a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, creating a delightful living space.

Sharing another fine example of maintaining original details that are 100% worth saving whilst adding some modern touches along with colour and pattern in this gorgeous home designed by Sophie Rowell of Côte de Folk. Reupholstering that sofa in this whimsical Svenskt Tenn fabric and the terracotta stone floor in brick pattern were both brilliant decision. Photos: Chris Snook.

Celebrating colour and art

“Colour, materiality and the stimulus of art influence the many layers which interior architects and designers, Venetia Rudebeck and Romanos Brihi assemble in their work. Studio Vero was launched in 2014 and has since established a design vernacular for thoughtful spaces which combine a warmth, elegance, a reverence for tradition and sense of place.”

A joyful celebration of living with oomph. This Notting Hill house by Studio Vero is no shrinking violet. Colour, pattern, texture and standout art combine to bring to life modern family living.

Timeless history and charm

The Northamptonshire country house, once soulless due to poor renovations, found new life through a thoughtful redesign. Every corner was reimagined, with the old drawing room transformed into a spacious kitchen and scullery, allowing for informal yet elegant entertaining. The former kitchen became a cozy library, adorned with rich hues and bookshelves. A light-filled day room provided a relaxing space, connecting the house with its history. The blend of old and new pieces created a timeless atmosphere, fostering a comfortable, fun, and enduring family life.
