How did you balance your signature elegant style in this rustic location?
The verdant backdrop of The Coach House is a clear inspiration for the refreshed interior. The wallpaper reflects the flowers and wildlife in my garden, and my favourite animals feature in the design such as dragonflies, hedgehogs, and the beautiful butterflies after which the collection is named.
A chinoiserie wallpaper was the perfect choice as it combines my love of Asian art and design with a layered, classical English style. Pieces I have had for many years, like my turquoise chinoiserie desk, are reinvigorated by the new backdrop, especially in the dining room where the primrose yellow silk wallpaper creates a wonderful statement when juxtaposed with my collection of gilt Burmese statues and antique blue and white Chinese pots.
