The inspiration for this interior was drawn from the complete serenity of its leafy surroundings, combined with the warmth and colourful personality of its owner. A wash of neutral colour was used throughout, enhancing the openness of the rooms and creating a subtle backdrop for statement pieces. In the living room we created layered patterns of tonal greens, given depth by earthy charcoals, to promote an atmosphere of relaxation, whilst the dining area is enlivened as a space for entertaining by vibrant shades of red and orange. The resulting design maintains a skilful balance between visual stimulation and restful calm, contemporary style and comfortable functionality, whilst embracing the natural ambience of its setting.
