This connection of spaces, colours and
surfaces is one of the central and most
memorable characteristics of the interior
design and is executed beautifully in the
dialogue between ceilings and floors. The
giant chain link pattern of a long rug that
spans two major wings of the house is
directly mirrored above by the moulded
ceiling. Similarly, in the anteroom, the
black ceiling beams reflect the irregular
lines of the rug below. The effect of this
mirroring is immersive and cocooning,
while the marble-style wallpaper between
the mouldings on both ceilings delivers
another subtle layer and provides a further
connection between the spaces.
Bold gestures and rich colours, pattern play
that encompasses and delights, and all set
against gleaming brass, sultry black-stained
oak and glossy ebony – this is country living
on a large, luxe scale.
