Wiltshire Cottage

This decoration project was for a repeat client with a charming ancient stone cottage in Wiltshire. They had done a renovation on the cottage several years before we met, but always felt that it was lacking in character and energy. After we worked on their house in London, they decided it was time to try again with the cottage. So the brief was to bring energy and colour into the house without making any changes that would require building work. Since the house was already fully furnished, we focused on recovering all of the clients’ existing furniture and redecorating the walls. Newly added finishing touches like lamps, shades and cushions brought the schemes together. Unlike some of our work, where we spend months thinking about projects like a blank sheet of paper, and then more months making sure every light fitting and plug socket is in the right place, this project was about accepting what was there and making it better. Looking at the finished house I’m so glad that the clients’ strong happy energy is now reflected in their home.
