The Avenue, Amersham

A beautiful Arts and Crafts house, fully refurbished with new architect designed kitchen and loft extension. The clients wanted the interior to be grounded in calming neutrals, with occasional pops of colour. These delight the eye in unexpected places: the utility room, behind shelves, within the fireplace and eaves . A stunning floral wallpaper draws the garden into the kitchen, and these same tones and shades are echoed throughout the house to create a gentle sense of flow and cohesion.

A beautiful Arts and Craft House designed by in Buckinghamshire. The house has undergone a full refurbishment, while retaining its period features. The client wanted a palette of neutrals with some pop of colours, which we have introduced in unexpected places, like in the utility room and behind shelves. We have brought the outside inside in the kitchen, with a stunning wall paper, which grounded the entire colour scheme.
