1 “Beams and bricks create texture”
‘Along with any type of timber, brickwork adds a real sense of character in a home. Here, light parquet flooring adds a contemporary feel, while letting original architectural elements shine. For me, houseplants are a must, too, as natural greenery softens a space that has few soft furnishings. The grey drawers are one of my favourite upcycling projects; they started life as school art drawers. I gave them new life with a coat of paint.’
