Project Description
The owners of this pretty riverside house had bought it as a tired holiday let having fallen in love with both the Cotswolds and the position of the house. We brought it back to life, working closely with our clients and with a local builder.
CLIENT PERSONA
A young couple with four children and a family dog.
THE BRIEF
Our task was to create a luxurious home, making the best possible use of the available space for family to stay and to entertain guests. The house was stripped back to a shell in order to achieve this. Our clients had strong ideas about use of materials and colours and the ensuing collaboration was, we think, a great success!

INSPIRED
Jane and Helen helped me through the maze involved in redecorating to find what I liked and then put together a scheme that I’m thrilled with.
