INTERIORS & INTERIOR DESIGN
The hallway had previously been a dark grey and felt like the “ room of gloom ”, says Samantha . By stripping this back to a soft white it feels much brighter and now benefits from the ample natural light the area receives . In the dining room , the old dark shade of purple was replaced by “ Stiffkey Blue ’ which echoes the ‘ Hague Blue ’ used in the kitchen . It is a dramatic space with a double-height ceiling , and the antique glass back wall , an existing feature of the room , is positioned to bounce light around the room beautifully .
Samantha upgraded the kitchen island for a larger design , which is now over 3 metres long . This has created lots of surface area for a keen cook , as well as integrating seating for six people . “ It will be a great place to entertain when the world opens back up again ,” explains Samantha . A quartz stone with strong veining was used for the worktop as the owners love the look of marble but needed a more durable surface . Statement pendants were selected by the homeowner to be positioned over the island .
