The golden arch, found on eBay, set the tone for this room. The green on the inside of the arch is an archive colour by Farrow & Ball. The velvet chairs are vintage.
STAIRCASE/ENTRANCE HALL
Instead of a carpet runner, Emily painted a black stripe along the hall and up the stairs. The vibrant yellow paint on the wall adds a sunshinefilled splash of colour.
When Emily Mellor and her husband Charlie found their dream home in the countryside, it was clearly meant to be. At the time, in summer 2015, it was in fact already under offer, as Emily found out when she called the real estate agent. But, she says, “I had this premonition that we were going to live there, and I told the real estate agent so. She probably thought I was mad.” Sure enough, six months later, the agent called her back to tell her that the sale had fallen through, and Emily and Charlie moved in three months later, in April 2016.
