Above: A brightly painted chest of drawers contrasts<br />
with the cool greys and blacks of the master bedroom<br />
Left: Along the corridor, the family bathroom is a<br />
tranquil haven of greys peppered with yellows and whites<br />
Given the couple’s love of grey as a backdrop,<br />
they were lucky to take on a home with a neutral<br />
grey colour scheme: “It was a much-loved family<br />
home which was a little tired in places and needed<br />
a bit of a revamp. We wanted to put our stamp on<br />
it. So lots and lots of painting has been done!”<br />
Caroline tells me this as we sit in the kitchen.<br />
There is a huge sash window, as well as bi-fold<br />
doors on to a little courtyard garden – both of<br />
which help to fill the room with natural light. The<br />
kitchen units are minimalist and pale cream. “The<br />
units were already here – we were lucky with that<br />
one!” says Caroline. In the middle of the room is<br />
a stark metal table that Caroline bought on eBay,<br />
flanked by benches topped with sheepskins. “The<br />
sheepskins just warm it up a bit. We love a bit of<br />
industrial style, rather than going too ‘countryrustic’.<br />
But to warm it up we use lots of cushions,<br />
soft furnishings, throws and things like that.”
