The brief was to strengthen the fabric of this Grade II listed house and make it fit for modern-day family life. We entirely gutted the building, replaced the roof, converted the utility room into a stylish and contemporary shower room, designed a traditional country kitchen and renovated and styled the space throughout.

We created valuable space by designing bespoke joinery for nearly every room, building in much-needed storage as well as a more balanced plan and some charming moments, such as a cosy reading nook under the stairs.

The client wanted to incorporate his collection of rare Persian rugs into this traditional Cotswold setting and combine them to create a relaxed, calm interior that mixed rustic with a touch of richly exotic. We used neutral tones for the backdrop and then picked up the colours and patterns from the rugs, which we used in the bespoke cushions, throws and soft furnishings.

The overall result is a stunning and truly unique home.
