A collection of our house shoots

A plain sofa is the canvas for Rosie’s love of layering, here she uses prints, posters, a sketch by her grandmother and pieces of textiles as the foundation of her gallery wall, she used online framers, Picture Frame Express, as the wide selection and price make creating a gallery wall affordable. “Getting the scale of furniture right is key, after that use cushions, art and books, that is where you can layer and bring in lots of different textures and colours. We make our own cushions at Rosanna Bossom from fabric offcuts. You can stumble across a bargain without actively looking for it.”

Dining room in the home of Zoe Anderson of W A Green, London. Vibrant blue walls are covered with super stylish artworks, while the dining table oozes character with kitsch Mexican candle holders, a statue of the Virgin Mary and an uber cool cobalt blue Neolit fruit bowl.

The 1740 barn embellished with a large festive wreath greets festive guests across a frosty garden. Whilst the Grade I listed walkway and its Roman pillars can be seen on the right. The topiary was already fully established when they bought their home.

In 1895 the Shell Grotto was discovered underground in Margate, this ornate and mysterious vast shell mosaic inspired Whinnie to create this room, she painted the ceiling pearlescent and hand painted the murals. The plaster cast fireplace was found on eBay for £20 and she began to stick on shells. ‘Tom wouldn’t help, he said: “this is your madness”. The shell room has been the hardest because it is so intricate, but that makes me love the space, knowing that no-one else has got it.’

Looking through from the dining room to the sitting room in the French home of Textile Designer & Antique Textile Dealer @susandeliss her hand-block print tablecloth with its rich colours and textures perfectly compliments the antique Tommette floor tiles & sofa beyond...

The Georgian fire surround was found at auction at a country estate in the Cotswolds, “the family never had any heating as there was no cash, so they sold some of their stuff, to pay for central heating”. The coffee table holds an 18th century bread rack piled with reference books. The wrought iron chandelier is Lucy’s mothers and the painting above the fireplace is, think Andy and Lucy, early to mid-19th century American and depicts a kind of naïve folk art from that era, while the painting to the right is from the 18th century. The Victorian linen press still has its original green paint, which for Andy and Lucy add to its beauty, “we love the cracked and patinated feel of the old paint for its history and originality.”

Intensely painted dark walls, closed wooden shutters, candle-light and the natural world inspire illustrator Jude Wisdom. The dining room is where Jude works on her illustrations. The darkness inside keeps the world outside at bay.

The library and fireplace were designed and built by David in an early American colonial style. The table is from a car boot, the chairs belonged to Juliet’s sister, the sheet music Juliet cannot bear to throw away despite the fact that no-one plays. The lamps are recycled car-boot finds.

Two Reverspective paintings by Patrick are on display here, flanked by a Fornasetti clock, overlooking an Arts and Crafts table and rocking chair and Charles Eames chairs.

Designed and built by Edward and Mark, the pavillion has become the central sitting room space in the summer, freeing the family up to enjoy long evenings under the stars, surrounded by the wild gardens that gave birth to so many of Christina’s designs for Cabbages & Roses and, of course, for Edwards wood work skills and Sophie’s garden designs. The antique garden chairs are a legacy from previous generations of Strutt’s. The tablecloth is of course the faded pink rose from Cabbages & Roses, while flowers from the gardens adorn the table. The silver candle-sticks are Strutt heirlooms.
