Country Life

Louise Jones has created a calm scheme for a dressing room at a Georgian house in Wiltshire

-

The designer studied at the Inchbald School of Design, (having switched from her previous career in accountanc­y) before spending seven years with London practice Todhunter earle. She left to establish her own company, which is now based in Richmond. Previous commission­s have included residentia­l projects in central London and a chalet in Verbier. She is currently working on the refurbishm­ent of a house on the Isle of Jura.

This is the dressing room of the master bedroom of a Georgian property near Marlboroug­h that Louise and her team refurbishe­d to create a house with a country feel that also offers 21st-century comfort. The scheme combines a pale palette of colours and doors with mirrored panels that were hand-painted by Sterling Studios (www.sterling-studios.com; 020–8453 9360). The latter creates a wide range of decorative finishes for walls, furniture and cabinetry, including eglomise glass, lacquer and gesso.

Sterling Studios also painted the woodwork in a casein paint that has a chalky finish, adding depth and an aged appearance. The combinatio­n of the two creates a soft, muted feel.

As with any dressing room, lighting was key and this was designed by John Cullen Lighting (020–7371 9000; www.johncullen­lighting.com). Oak-leaf door pulls are available from Charles edwards (www.charlesedw­ards.com; 020–7736 7172). The fabric on the cushion is Sunflower, which costs £323 per metre from Chelsea Textiles (www.chelseatex­tiles.com; 020–7584 5544).
