Above: The copper-lined pulley light over the dining table is by Original BTC (it was a bargain Ally found under the discontinued clearance table.). The leather club chair was a family favourite. Ally gave it new life with cushions covered in vibrant African fabrics brought back from Tanzania that turned up in Jo’s clear out and blinds on the ground floor which are all made of the same material – an Ikat-style print from Bell House Interiors in Cranbrook, which is very wide, so economical to use. It’s an idea which would never have occurred to me – I was almost shocked at the concept – but once you see it in place, using one window treatment fabric throughout unites the layout, giving the space a chic, pulled-together look, which makes you wonder why on earth we fuss about putting different patterns in every room. This is a perfect example of the kind of savvy Ally has gathered in her nearly 30 years of experience as an interior designer, working for eight years for South Africa’s doyenne of the profession, before returning to continue her trade in London, where she still does big projects, and then 15 years ago moving down to Kent. Another cheeky little solution learned from those years of experience was her treatment for the less than lovely radiators all over the house. Rather than replace, she disguised them. “We covered them with latticed box radiator covers, but the trick is, before you put the cover on, you paint the radiator charcoal grey, so you can’t see it through the air vents.” It works like magic and the box covers also created useful – and once again, unifying – shelves, perfect for grouping displays of ornaments and mementoes, many of which had been languishing in cupboards. It was with such individually small, but very effective en masse details, rather than any big structural building work, that Ally helped Jo transform the house. “It turned out the whole place needed rewiring, which was a pain, but it gave us the chance to put sockets where we needed them, which is so important and you have to do it first before you plaster, so it can all be made good afterwards.” With a chunk of the budget taken up by such invisible works, there was less left for decorating and Ally had to be very creative. “The first thing I do is always a floor plan.
