Private Client, North Cornwall

“We are absolutely delighted with our new lounge/dining room. From the beginning, Elaine has listened carefully to what we wanted, steered us away from our madder ideas and, ensured through her project management, that we ended up with the house that was finished ahead of schedule and on budget. Elaine has managed to integrate the old house and the new house together by her ingenious layout so that the house now works for the whole family”.

Our clients had lived in the old part of their house for many generations and added the new wing in the 60’s. The two parts had never really joined cohesively and our brief was to "fuse the two together inside and outside; revamp the whole of the interior by changing the colour schemes throughout, so that there was a better flow through the property". We were asked to incorporate many pieces of the family furniture, heirloom and art, and de-clutter the walls and move their art around into better positions. On the outside we repositioned the entrance and created a verandah to fuse the two wings. We then used different styles of cladding from one wing onto another, resulting in the house looking like it was all built at one time.

On the inside we audited what could stay, what could be revamped and what had to go and be started again. We had to work with the needs of the family who were active in nearly every sport and beach life. The result was a very relaxed, eclectic but stylish home entirely suited to the family who lived there.
