Paint wood chairs in a muted rainbow of colours. Simple yet stylish

Kitchen

Irene and her father made the kitchen themselves, but try Neptune for a similar clean-lined vibe. “It’s very simple, which I like,” says Irene. “Just make sure you hide the dishwasher.”

Bathroom

The open bathroom offers more privacy than it seems, with cleverly positioned screens. “I like being able to talk to my husband in the kitchen while I’m in the bath,” Irene says. Farrow & Ball’s Teresa’s Green paint is the same shade as the shower wall.
