The clients had lived in Singapore for over 20 years and reached out to work with us because they were moving back to the UK and wanted help with their new home. Having lived in Asia for over two decades they wanted to work with a designer who would be able to incorporate their Asian art collection and lifestyle seamlessly into their new UK home. They wanted to create a joyful, colourful and cosy space filled with layers of pattern and colour. The house is a wing of a Georgian country house. We mostly focused upon the soft furnishings, as well as installing a new kitchen in soft buttery yellow, red and green. We wanted the house to feel like a traditional English country home but to have a well-travelled and eclectic atmosphere.
Designer Elizabeth Hay created such a warm, inviting home here with an abundance of gorgeous colours and patterns. I am in love with this living room with soft blues, greens, reds and yellows – a combination that can be garish if the tones are too bright. This is perfection. Photos: Jonathan Bond.
