Just because a house is old, it doesn’t have to look old-fashioned. Modern furniture and materials will bring it up-to-date.

I love plywood and we used it extensively throughout the house to clad walls, and make furniture. It’s light, affordable and looks contemporary.
All our walls are painted white because we wanted the house to be light and feel spacious. It also shows off the loveliness of the timber beams and natural materials.
I don’t like a lot of clutter but I do like to have beautiful things, like classic pieces of furniture and art, around me. They lift my spirits.
