1 “Beams and bricks create texture”
‘Along with any type of timber, brickwork adds a real sense of character in a home. Here, light parquet flooring adds a contemporary feel, while letting original architectural elements shine. For me, houseplants are a must, too, as natural greenery softens a space that has few soft furnishings. The grey drawers are one of my favourite upcycling projects; they started life as school art drawers. I gave them new life with a coat of paint.’
BUY THE KEY PIECES Clay Grey herringbone engineered wood flooring, £49.99sq m, Flooring Supplies. Tree and pot, from £65, Blooming Artificial. Print of York map, from £150, Francis Frith. Try Highgate chest, £449.99, Oak Furniture Land
2 “Carrara marble is the focal point”
