‘ This room was literally a white box with a window when we moved in. Richard had always wanted a TV that was set into a chimney breast, so, with help from my dad, he built a frame in the middle of the wall to create the illusion of one. Then he added the apertures to house the TV and soundbar so that they were flush, and a friend plastered it for us. I painted the walls in Beige 04 by Lick, and then attached the picture rail to add a bit of character to the space. We don’t use this room that much, but it is lovely to snuggle down in here for cosy movie nights.’
Kerry has used gold accents on the tree to complement the neutral colour scheme running through her home. ‘ The sofas, from Sofology, are two different sizes and we always swap them over at Christmas to fit the tree into this corner,’ says Kerry. The pre-lit snowy tree is from Next and the decorations are from Wilko
‘Building the chimney breast created the perfect alcove space for these shelves, and I’m forever faffing with them.
The white vase holding the eucalyptus was originally yellow and blue, but I painted it with two colours of leftover paint to give a concrete effect.’ The knitted grey pouffe is from Beliani and the candlesticks are from Fleur and Grey
