Home COMFORTS

A home that speaks to a colour palette of neutrals, charcoal and warm gold with a hint of Italian — gave Gloria Gambini the calm, familiar feeling she craved

- JANE CRITTENDEN

After growing up in Italy's Umbrian countryside, Gloria Gambini craved green space and was always keeping an eye out for a house in the right location with her husband, Stuart Ellerby, and their children, Sebastian, six, and Lewis, four. With a dual interest in house renovation - Gloria is an interior designer and Stuart is a director at MoreSpace, a residential construction company - they were also keen to find a house that needed work.
