‘The centrepiece of the room is a polished wood heirloom dining table, which we’ve enhanced by opting for shapely chairs upholstered in two contrasting fabrics,’ says Katharine Pooley of Katharine Pooley design studio. ‘The front of the seats was covered in plain linen and the back in an abstract textured fabric. We used a palette of light blues and creams for a relaxed and elegant country look.’
