This page: The small, yet perfectly formed, kitchen is complete with Carrara marble effect breakfast bar. Metro tiles wrap around three walls<br />
with Emma Shipley wallpaper and a vintage Indian cabinet offering a pop of rich colour<br />
The snug opens to a courtyard<br />
garden that has – just like the house<br />
– been effortlessly zoned, every corner<br />
and every detail fully considered.<br />
By once again using her expert eye<br />
in both the colours she is using<br />
and how she uses them, as well as<br />
sourcing perfect pieces of vintage<br />
furniture, Angie has made the most<br />
of every bit of space, taking what<br />
had been an unloved and unused<br />
outdoor area and creating a grey<br />
painted decked zone, dreamy for<br />
an evening drink or morning coffee<br />
with your laptop. From the deck<br />
she has created a wooden walkway,<br />
reminiscent of an Ibizan beach,<br />
with dark grey shingle beneath and<br />
dark grey posts painted in Farrow &<br />
Ball Downpipe. An outdoor dining<br />
space awaits, hidden behind folding<br />
reclaimed doors within a corrugated<br />
iron shed, all fully insulated with<br />
weatherboarding. It’s genius. Inside<br />
Angie has sourced a Hungarian dining<br />
table, dresser and mirror. It’s about as<br />
stylish as eating in the garden gets.<br />
Back in the house, a sumptuously<br />
deep wool carpet on the stairs, from<br />
Butler House Carpets in Cranbrook,<br />
leads to the first-floor bedroom.<br />
Whilst the ground floor is an essay<br />
in calm and restraint, it is in the<br />
two main bedrooms that Angie has<br />
allowed her vision to really fly. Her<br />
unique ability to see colours and<br />
how they connect and work is a joy<br />
to behold. Taking her cue from the<br />
classic William Morris Strawberry<br />
Thief wallpaper in the first-floor<br />
bedroom, she has paired this with<br />
Indian and French vintage furniture,<br />
painted brick walls, a calico stripped<br />
bed and painted ceiling. “I like<br />
bedrooms to be places of refuge,”<br />
says Angie. “I love the idea of your<br />
bedroom being like the coolest hotels<br />
you have stayed in, and that’s what<br />
I tried to do here. I think you’d<br />
want to pay money to stay in this<br />
room, wouldn’t you?” she laughs.<br />
Blues, red, golds all work with<br />
each other with textures from the<br />
Indian wooden doors, the cast iron<br />
fireplace, the calico bed and blue/<br />
grey brick wall, woodwork and<br />
ceiling – it is this instinctive <br />
