Back down the stairs, the first floor is home to the
children’s bedrooms as well as a very pretty spare room
featuring a French-style upholstered bed (which Ally
bought with money from her first design job) and blue
Toile de Jouy wallpaper, curtains and trim. Woollencovered
cushions, from The White Company, and a chunky
woollen throw add some mountain-cabin cosiness.
Next door, in order, are Finnbhar, Tabby and Jonjo’s rooms.
Each is a den of posters, sports-team photos and, in the
case of Tabby’s room, lots of rosettes. Ally has rationalised
and organised each room with her own distinctive design
techniques – including more chalet-style horizontal
boards and clever storage spaces – while allowing the
children’s own taste and style to shine through.
