A modern take on seaside style

Living area

The rug is a vintage find from Pakistan. The floral pattern suits the overall décor, while the luxurious fuchsia grounds the colour scheme and provides depth to the room.

Bright colours make the space feel happier. In here, vivid pattern and an ice cream palette play off each other and give the room energy.

Jo Lavender and her husband Rob Newland live here. They both work in the media. They have two children, Ivy, 11, and Margot, eight.

THE PROPERTY

A three-bedroom late-Victorian semi in Southwold, Suffolk. Bought in 2019.

After visiting the pretty coastal town of Deal a few years ago, Jo Lavender and Rob Newland fell in love with the idea of a home by the sea. They’d stayed at The Rose, a local pub recently renovated by interior designer Michelle Kelly, and liked what they saw. Michelle’s taste for ice-cream colours, Liberty fabric and William Morris wallpaper was both unexpected and cosy – the perfect mix for their new home.
