Above: Daughter Emma fancied a touch of baroque in her
bedroom, which Jane created by combining pale blue, rich
browns and delicate golds in a range of texured fabrics for
dressing the bed Left: A reindeer hide thrown over a chair creates
a dramatic corner on the upstairs landing. The bold pineapple
print wallpaper is Neisha Crosland
corner –at an Affordable Art Fair. Beneath a limited edition
geometric abstract by Brigitte Williams stands an amusing
Porta Romana lamp with duck feet and a silk satin shade.
The star of the show here, though, must be the grey,
contemporary take on the winged armchair by Andrew
Martin. “I wanted a wow piece in here,” says Jane.
“Every room should have something a little outrageous
in it, something that makes the space interesting.”
There are all sorts of things that make Jane and Chris’
bedroom interesting from the great vaulted ceiling and
Juliet balcony to the pretty – almost secret – little windows
that flank the headboard. The centrepiece though is the
beautiful mirrored dressing table which set the tone for the
remainder of the room, inspiring Nathan to create some
truly stunning dark oak mirrored bedside units and chest of
drawers with smoky bronze Buster & Punch handles. The
curtains are a contemporary graphic weave by Larsen.
The en suite bathroom occupies one of the upper rooms
