MARISHA TAYLOR
MODERN love

Living room ‘The brickwork has been exposed and limewashed and we fitted faux beams to the ceilings to hide old light fittings. It also adds character and a natural touch to the living and dining areas.’

BUY THE KEY PIECES: Model 03 three-seater sofa in Pumice Linen, £2,385, SwyftHome. Romy square metal coffee table, £325; Rabisco Berber-style XL rug, £375, both La Redoute

FAUX BEAMS

A great way of adding character, bringing a rustic aesthetic to plain spaces

We are surrounded by the COUNTRYSIDE and whatever window you look through there is beautiful GREENERY, so it felt very NATURAL to bring the outside in

- MICHAELA SHOEBRIDGE, HOMEOWNER
