“Soon after the Housebound exhibition, I was involved in a show called 100% Design - a big interiors trade show in London. At the time there were very few doing wallpaper - perhaps me and a couple of other girls. That was it.” Though she is unlikely to say it herself, Louise was a major player in the ‘wallpaper revival’. “A few of us were starting to do exciting things with wallpaper which hadn’t been done before,” says Louise, whose innovative and fresh approach continues to this day. As we walk through to the kitchen of this large, Victorian semi, we are met with a delicious display of Louise’s designs. The wall next to the kitchen table features ‘Midnight’ from her Forest wallpaper range, while those with an eye for Louise’s designs will also notice the ‘Old Blue’ Tile wallpaper behind the cooker and on the teatowels hanging on its rail. “The kitchen chairs were my bargain of the century,” says Louise, who cleverly mixes a few budget brands with her own high-end designs and gorgeous family heirlooms. “I got them from Dunelm Mill for £5 each - and they’ve since been discontinued.” The chairs are a simple, classic design which fits nicely with 1950s and 60s items dotted around the room, including a wooden 1960s starshaped clock which Louise found in a junk shop. The white kitchen units are wonderfully retro, with pale blue crackle-glaze Formica tops tying in with the pale blue walls and grey-painted floorboards. It is a far cry from what the couple discovered when they first saw the house: “It was in a complete state when we bought it,” says Louise. “There was no real kitchen - just a sink hanging off the wall and all the woodwork was orange pine. Every single thing... skirting boards, door frames, walls, everything. It was hideous!” Thank goodness for the house that it was bought by a couple with such good taste... generations of good taste, in fact. “I’m slightly embarrassed,” says Louise, “because so much of our stuff is either from family or from junks shops.” The fact that her relatives had more than their fair share of creative flair and that Louise lives in Hastings - a hotbed of ‘junk shops’ and architectural reclamation - all adds up to a lot of potential. “Both my grandmothers were artists,” says Louise, before pointing to a pretty drawing on the opposite wall. “Granny Jean did that pencil drawing and watercolour of Bumper, our old cat.” Such personal touches add an immeasurable sense of homeliness to the place. I’m dying to look around the rest of the house... Out into the lofty hallway and stairwell we go, and are instantly reminded of the generous proportions of Victorian homes. Space was one of the main attractions for Louise and Jonny: “We were living in a three-bedroom cottage on Above: The walls in the dining room are painted in Farrow & Ball Pale Powder.
