Country interiors are often defined by muted palettes, but this Surrey home is imbued with a joyful interior full of kaleidoscopic colour, thanks to interior design studio Olivine Design.
The clients, a family with three young children, had moved out of London looking for a property with more space. They found this seven-bedroom house, which is around 30 years old but was in need of updating. ‘They were attracted to it because is it spacious and filled with light’, says Victoria Gray, co-founder of Olivine Design with Taline Findlater, who were tasked with renovating the interior. ‘The architecture and proportions of the rooms are wonderful, but it was a bit of a white box – there was nothing quirky or interesting.’ With a brief to inject character and personality to the interior and reflect the family, it fell to Olivine Design to introduce life with a colourful palette and carefully curated detail. ‘At Olivine we do love colour!’ adds Victoria.
