PIERRE FREY

A modern mood prevails at the French textile house this autumn, where star launches include Heather linen fabric, a riot of colourful Abstract Expressionist swirls, and Oeufs à la Coque wallpaper (right) – a photographic print of a French dresser that takes a traditional theme and turns it into a contemporary repeat pattern.

DINING AREA

The portraits above the sofa (left and below) are from a book by photographer Uli Weber, which Fiona found in a charity swhop. She extracted the pictures, mounted them in Ikea frames and hung them in a group to make a striking decorative feature. The hotair balloon light was picked up at auction in Lots Road.

KITCHEN

Fiona chose traditional Shaker-style cabinets (right). “You can see the grain of the oak through the paint, which I like,” she says. The pendants came from a lighting shop in Ross-on-wye.

EXTERIOR

Archie the Jack Russell stands guard at the front door of this classic example of symmetrical Georgian architecture (below right). The house, built in Ashlar stone, is the only one in Cheltenham to have the unusual architectural detail below the parapet.
