This exceptional house once belonged to a member of Queen Victoria’s household. It has now been painstakingly restored by its current owner who approached us to reconfigure the kitchen and pantry spaces which were a muddle of small rooms unsuitable for everyday dining and hosting informal supper parties. As often happens, our reach then spread to other areas of the house. In this case, we were also invited to design and make furniture for a guest kitchen, bedroom wardrobes and a bookshelf and bench seat set within a turret. Our work in this stunning house then extended to the billiard room and a kitchen for the cottage.
The bespoke joinery of Artichoke is what any/every period home needs to bring it back to its former glory and make it effortlessly functional and beautiful. The work they contributed in this home is spectacular and will only become more so over time.

Our obsession with faux flowers, botanicals and plants is where it all started. But a beautiful bouquet needs a great side table. A kitchen needs a statement plant. A reception desk needs a stunning arrangement… And so one side of our business feeds the other. Led by Tracy Cole, we work closely with our clients to create cosy modern interiors full of texture, layers and luxury with lots of faux details.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Isle of Us by Nicholas Obeid.

“An eclectic apartment based around a client’s wonderful collection of art and objets. We embraced the industrial elements of this former tannery and chose a vibrant palette which extended to the bespoke kitchen which was handmade to make the most of the unusual space.”

Two colourful London homes today. I couldn’t think of anything better. As for that green kitchen? YES!!! Loft Apartment by Howark Design.

With its post war modernist bones it would be easy to reproduce a retro 50’s decor or worse demo and create a bare modern interior. Instead Warsaw-based interior design firm Colombe celebrated the building painting everything white then appling pops of colour framed like works of art and filling it with a mix of midcentury and contemporary pieces. Fun, fabulous and fresh, a liveable, loveable family home.
