An impressive gabled Jacobean country house built in 1622 and in the same family for many generations. The brief was to help update and transform the already well-established interior into a comfortable and more family friendly home. With the current owners having very clear and distinct ideas of what they liked and wanted, my job was to source, suggest and supply contemporary linens and textiles, fresh paint colours, new wallpaper, window treatments and missing pieces of furniture in order to create the atmosphere they envisaged. An on-going project the owners now plan to transform the playroom into a library and to re-jig some bedrooms in order to create more bathrooms. Stringer Interiors is also involved in the redecoration of the client's London home which by contrast is a cool coloured modern take on an old mews house.
