Above: Julius’ bedroom shows a clear sense of individual style and fun as well
as an obvious love of team sport – or sport in general. The quirky bedstead,
resembling leather saddlery, is from And So To Bed
Others have noted Christel’s in-born sense of style, and
recently she has been asked to design and style several
boutique hotel chains; mood boards in her woodlined
office hint at what a busy lady she must be...
Upstairs, one is reminded of her creative ability by
decadent, luxurious bedrooms, each very much with its
own, individual style. First on our tour is a magnificent
guest bedroom, with an ornate carved wooden bedstead
and dramatic, teal-coloured oriental wallpaper. This is very
much a suite, with writing desk, armchair and masses of
space in which to enjoy the country house ambience.
When it came to the boys’ rooms,
Christel gave them ‘carte blanche’
though it is clear they have inherited
their mother’s sense of style
