Sarah, an interior designer; her husband, Tim, a builder; plus Mala, the cocker spaniel.
WHAT WAS YOUR PHILOSOPHY GOING INTO YOUR RENOVATION?
Sarah: “I didn’t want it to feel like it had lost its 1950s-cottage feel. Including details such as the bronze bolts on the French doors honours that.”
WHAT’S YOUR COLOUR PALETTE?
“It has to be a colour in nature. You don’t have to have high chroma. It’s green, blue and orange, but they’ve been muted.”
WHAT’S YOUR TOP DECORATING TIP?
“Just wait and get the things you love. Let your home evolve. It doesn’t all have to be perfectly finished now.”
