When it comes to the family bathroom, once again
Julia has effortlessly combined ultra-modern with
historical. The original Tudor beams are juxtaposed with
modern ceramic tiles and a generously proportioned bath
that would look at home in any spa. A vintage painted
cabinet with a chicken-wire front is ideal for storing
towels and linen and a modern wooden bench is the
perfect perching place to indulge in a bit of pre or postbathtime
pampering.
One of Julia’s favourite rooms (and I have to say, the
room that I am most in love with) is the aptly named
‘Traveller’s Room.’ Inspired by her travels to Morocco
(where she stayed in a Berber tent in the desert) and to
China to visit her sister, the room is the embodiment of
globalism.
The walls, painted in her favourite Farrow & Ball
shade, Downpipe, are the perfect backdrop to her
collection of objets which are showcased alongside her
own Polish and Hungarian-inspired fabric designs.

cupboard bought from an antique shop in Bath - a
present from Gerry when we got engaged.’ A 1950s
