Cloakroom Sophistication

We recently had the pleasure of redecorating this cloakroom in Wadhurst, East Sussex. The old walls and ceiling were full of character, keeping the history of the house with their natural lumps, bumps and subtle convex and concave curves — features where a strict geometric wallpaper would have looked entirely out of place. Our client wanted to bring warmth and depth to the room and chose this stunning Hemp Vinyl wallpaper from Christopher Farr Cloth in the colour ‘Rust’. The paper itself was a joy to hang and did its job exceptionally well in masking the uneven contours of the walls, delivering the warm, enveloping feeling our client envisaged. Complementing the paper, we retained and carefully finished the tongue-and-groove panelling, original doors and even the arched windows, which were reclaimed from Westminster Abbey, all of which add authentic character and provenance. These were painted with a soft brushed finish in Tikkurila Helmi 10, colour matched to Sanderson Dusky White, while the ceiling was tonally lightened by being painted in Sanderson Cameo White to lift and balance the space. The result is a stunning, sympathetic transformation from start to finish that respects the building’s history while introducing considered contemporary warmth, as you can see in the photographs.

Cosy Living

A lovely example of a modern yet cosy living space we had the pleasure of working on in Wadhurst, East Sussex. For this project, all the walls and ceiling were carefully painted using Johnstones Perfect Matt emulsion, expertly tinted to complement the elegant Farrow & Ball colour palette. The ceiling was finished in the soft shade of Pointing, creating a bright and airy feel. Above the dado rail, the walls were painted in Matchstick, adding warmth and subtle contrast, while below the dado rail, the walls were finished in the sophisticated tone of French Grey. To complete the look, all the woodwork was beautifully painted with Tikkurila Helmi 10, also tinted in French Grey, ensuring a cohesive and polished finish throughout the room.

Making An Entrance

This entrance hall, nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Mayfield in the East Sussex countryside, underwent meticulous preparation and close attention to detail to bring to life the exact vision of our client. The grand staircase spanned four floors, necessitating scaffolding that ascended right through its core. Though I wish I could showcase all the photos of this remarkable project, space here is limited. The walls adorn a harmonious palette of Farrow & Ball Dead Flat Emulsion in the serene tone of Eddy, while Edward Bulmer Spanish White graces the walls below the dado rail on the ground level. Tikkurila Anti Reflex 2 White envelops the ceilings and cornice, radiating a sense of purity. Edward Bulmer Spanish White adorns all woodwork and columns, exuding timeless elegance. Noteworthy are the spindles, finished in Little Greene Intelligent Eggshell, a distinct hue born from a fortuitous mixing error, embraced wholeheartedly by our client for its unique charm.
