LIVING ROOM

‘I love the intense green of this painted wall – it’s bold, not overpowering, says Tricia.

Wall in Emerald, Designers Guild. Wall unit, MDF Italia. Candlesticks, Astier de Villatte. Painting, Howard Hodgkin. Try Design Market for a similar vintage table (below). On the gallery wall are pieces by artists including Craigie Aitchison, Bill Jacklin and Victor Pasmore

LIVING ROOM

Ombre-dipped curtains add bright colour while also diffusing the light, creating a beautiful luminous effect.

Curtains in hand-dyed Savoie linen in Cobalt and Lemongrass, Designers Guild. Mags soft low armrest sofa by Hay; upholstered in Capisoli wool in Grass by Designers Guild. Christmas ‘wreath’, Juliet Glaves for Designers Guild. Custom shelves, MDF Italia; showcasing pieces by Amy Hughes, Kate McBride and Royal College of Art graduates

DINING AREA

This space is found within the vast L-shaped open-plan living room. ‘It’s useful having so many places to sit, where I can move furniture around to make it feel more open,’ says Tricia.
