I am writing this having just heard about a major loss to British design. This September, Ruth Aram passed away. A true friend of this magazine, Ruth was a champion of contemporary style and, along with her father and brother with whom she ran Aram Store, she made the UK scene the creative place it is today. A walk around the Covent Garden shop with her was not simply a chance to discover new pieces, but an incredible opportunity to hear her insight and see beyond the product. Our thoughts are with her family and friends.

I hope you find creative inspiration in this month’s issue. The most rewarding part of our job is the chance to showcase the work of talented people, so we’re delighted to reveal the winners of the Homes & Gardens Fabric Awards on page 90. Meanwhile, the interior designers behind our gorgeous house stories and Dream Room case studies are the force of this title, and we are planning to make more of their involvement in issues to come.

And I’m sure you find The Natural Palette decorating story by stylist Ali Brown on page 61 as beautiful as I do. Ali’s rooms succeed in looking both tailored and efortless at the same time, and I have already pinned a couple of her images to my own mood boards. People aside, perhaps the most exciting news of all this month is our partnership with Ownable.

We’ve linked up with this innovative new brand in order to enhance your reader experience. Using the Ownable app, you can shop for products from the pages of this magazine in one go (and at the best price). Please let us know what you think.

we love this glorious display of faux stems. Ideal to see you through the winter months when local fresh flowers are naturally less abundant, modern artificial stems are a revelation, with intricate changes in colour and subtle shifts in texture adding authenticity to the petals, leaves and stems.

You’ll find a variety of ready-made arrangements at Fox Flowers, with prices starting from £100. Or if you prefer, you can select individual stems to create your own display from a choice of blooms and foliage, from £9 a stem.

If you are feeling extravagant, treat yourself to the made-to-order Hydrangea Galore (below), an impressive arrangement of 45 stems featuring hydrangea blooms and mixed foliage, including eucalyptus, willow and fig leaves, in a handmade vase, H98xW90cm, £1,690 including delivery, foxflowers.co.uk.

SOFT TOUCH With a name that means ‘to decorate’ in Swedish, Att Pynta, attpynta.com, is an affordable luxury homeware brand created by two friends – a Swede and a Brit – which sells stylish pieces such as this sumptuous Blanca sofa, H80xW162xD100cm, £1,995, in seven shades of luxurious Italian cotton velvet.

The Hepworth Wakefield gallery is to open a free public garden as a new and important green space in the town. The one-acre plot will be created by RHS Chelsea Flower Show gold medallist Tom Stuart-Smith to offer year-round interest with Japanese flowering cherries, meadow planting and outdoor sculptures. Support the project by donating at hepworthwakefield.org.

INSTAGRAM INSPIRATION Live Huse Mykleby of @melgaarden enchants us with images of family life while restoring Melgården, her country home in rural Norway.

How would you describe your Instagram account?

It’s the tale of a Mother-In-Chief holding the key to a manor house in the Norwegian countryside. The story is told through the year, with all its traditions. I was once an NYC art director, then found my true love and moved back to Norway.

Who would you recommend we follow and why? @sigridsminde, whose images will transport you to the Danish island daydream that is Camilla Jorvad’s life at Sigridsminde, a B&B, small organic flower farm and wedding venue. As a photographer and self-proclaimed garden nerd, she writes the most thoughtful, inspiring captions. I’m completely in love with the way she sees things.

HOME GROWN We couldn’t wait to share a sneak preview of the third Homes & Gardens collection of fabrics, trimmings, cushions and rugs in collaboration with Baker Lifestyle, 020 7351 7760, gpjbaker.com – see our February issue for the official launch. Inspiration came from the striking geometric designs and richly coloured palette found in Spain, Sicily and North Africa, all part of the visual heritage left by the Moors. From deep shades of blue with touches of spice to multicoloured patterns incorporating fuchsia and stone, the distinctive designs will inspire a range of stunning interiors.

THINKING BIG Made from recycled pine and hand-painted with a blue-grey wash, the new Kolmarden cabinet, H208xW216xD63cm, £3,750, from OKA, 0333 004 2042, oka.com, has a beautifully aged patina. The practical interior has adjustable shelves and invaluable drawers for storage, and inside is finished in a striking blue palette for added appeal.

SWEET DREAMS For the autumn/winter collection, Yves Delorme, 020 7589 4033, yvesdelorme.com, has explored the beauty of the winter garden for seasonal inspiration. Natural elements and motifs, such as leaves dancing in the wind, are set against a soft colour palette of ivory, neutrals, sienna and new wintery blue tones that suggest the light at dawn and the blue-grey shade of the late afternoon sky just before night falls. New pieces include (from top) Ornement and Ramage and, £79 for a 65cm sq pillowcase in 100% long staple combed cotton sateen, 300 thread count, with piped finish.

Supportive and luxuriously comfortable, the new all natural pillows by Herdy Sleep, 0800 294 8666, herdysleep.com, are hand filled with a unique blend of Herdwick wool from a beautiful breed native to the Lake District, and British white wool. The pillows, priced £69, are perfect for allergy suffers as the wool is naturally hypoallergenic, antibacterial and resistant to dust mites.

DECADENT STYLE The Illustrious wall-mounted basin mixer, from £624, by Swadling Brassware, 02392 255536, swadlingbrassware.co.uk, is part of a new collection of shower, bath and basin accessories embodying an Art Deco spirit. Hexagon motifs and optional details for the centre of the handle of mother-of-pearl and black-lip pearl finishes add to the opulent style. This beautifully evocative collection is available in a choice of metal finishes.

NOBLE TIES Writ in Water, by Mark Wallinger for the National Trust, celebrates the legacy of the Magna Carta

PHOTOGRAPHS ANDREW BUTLER

Made in collaboration with Studio Octopi, the large-scale circular building emerges from the hillside at Runnymede, Surrey. The famed site, now cared for by the National Trust, saw feudal barons forcing King John to seal the Magna Carta some 800 years ago, a founding moment in shaping the basis of common law.

The site, set in the heart of ancient landscape, has an exterior doorway that leads to a simple circular labyrinth. The visitor can follow a path that leads into a central chamber, where sky can be seen through a wide oculus above a pool of water. The sides of the pool are inscribed with words inspired from Clause 39 of the Magna Carta: ‘No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgment of his equals or by the law of the land.’

Writ in Water takes its name from the inscription on John Keats’ gravestone: ‘Here lies one whose name was writ in water’.

Reflecting on the founding principles of democracy and the meeting of water, sky and light, this artwork provides visitors with a space for quiet contemplation and reflection.

VISIT Writ in Water is open seven days a week and is free to enter. Windsor Road, near old Windsor, Surrey SL4 2JL. National Trust, 0344 800 1895, nationaltrust.org.uk/runnymede

ON THE TILES The new name to know in tiles, Otto, 0203 488 3205, ottotiles.co.uk, handcrafts traditional tiles in Istanbul using ancient techniques.

If you have a design in mind, they can make bespoke patterns, colours and shapes, or you can choose from an array of ready-made patterns in ceramic, terrazzo and cement. We love (pictured, from top) Cross Stripe Pink, St Tropez, Smooth Pinky Stripes, and Hex60 Blue, from £4.80 a tile.

IN THE FOLD From design doyenne Kelly Hoppen comes a bath with zen-like qualities, inspired by the delicate Japanese art of origami. The Origami bath, £2,062.40 by Apaiser at West One Bathrooms, 0333 011 3333, westonebathrooms.com, has minimalist lines reminiscent of folded paper, creating a piece that is functional day-to-day, while doubling up as an art piece.

DESIGN TRAIL After finding a discarded prototype chair in an Italian factory, Sebastian Wong of design brand Established & Sons, 020 7608 0990, establishedandsons.com, tracked down the designer Mauro Pasquinelli and the Mauro chair, H64xW51.5xD49cm, £860, was born.

Designed in 1976 but seen as too avant-garde, the chair is now available.

hen James and Sarah Ainsworth relocated to Dorset with their two daughters, they enlisted the expert help of interior designer Emma Sims-Hilditch to create the family home they had always aspired to. Here, we talk to James and Emma to discover more about the project How well did you know the area?

JA We were not familiar with it and had no idea where we wanted to live, so we rented while we looked for somewhere to buy. Past mistakes had taught us to wait for the right house. Sarah and I are confident of our likes and dislikes, and we fully expected to be renovating whichever house we eventually found.

What did you discover while renting?

JA The house we rented had outbuildings, 27 acres of land and no immediate neighbours. It made us realise that although we wanted peace and quiet, we also wanted to be near the shops and within walking distance of the girls’ schools. We now live in a peaceful cul-de-sac in town with everything we need nearby. Best of both worlds.

How long did it take to find the right house?

JA It was about a year. On paper the house did not meet any of our criteria, but the agent suggested we look at it anyway. It was not as big as the other houses we viewed, but we liked the feel of it. I suppose you don’t know what you want until you see it.

Was the house in good condition?

JA The previous owners had converted it back to a family home from flats around five or six years ago. They had also tanked the cellar and made it into several rooms. However, it was not to our taste, particularly the kitchen, which for us is the most important room in the house.

Did you make any structural changes?

ESH We preserved the original, grand parts of the house while opening up and rationalising the secondary spaces that had been added later on. Key to achieving this was replacing the rear extension with a much larger, open-plan kitchen, dining and seating area.

What sort of brief did you give Emma?

JA We asked for something modern with lots of natural light that felt like a country home without any associated stuiness. It had to be both practical and comfortable, but we also wanted it to look stunning.

ESH James and Sarah are very family orientated and it was important to reflect that. They wanted something calm but warm that was functional and not at all precious.

Is the kitchen still the most important part of the house?

JA It is a great and much-used room. Everyone can have their own space even when we are all in there together.

There is a big table, lots of natural light and wonderful views of the hills, especially when the doors are wide open.

CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT Nic chooses a piece of wood in East Sussex for his new work; a pit-fired ceramic bowl; wood-carving chisels that once belonged to Nic’s great-great grandfather.

Highly regarded for his brave, unconventional and visually arresting interactions with wood, Nic Webb is crossing the boundaries of craft and fine art. With roots bound to heritage and tradition, his use of air, water and fire-finishing techniques are attracting a dynamic following of buyers and collectors.

I graduated with a degree in painting from Brighton University in 1994, and have since focused on wood and elemental making. I started with a Princes Trust Youth Loan and have had various studio spaces. As a family we moved to Eastbourne four years ago, and the rural studio location gives me the creative freedom I had craved.

Working with local organic wood, every piece has its own lineage, character, flaws and features, like a living fossil. I look at the raw lumber and question what is inside: what shapes, form and orientation.

Each design begins with a chainsaw, then various high-octane, electric angle grinders. I work on the removal of particular areas of wood with extremely controllable fine tools – like chisels and cabinet scrapers. Until you take out the layers, you cannot foresee the nuances and landscape.

The initial rough shape is my canvas, ready for a more elemental, potentially chaotic treatment – sandblasting, burning, submersing underwater, freezing or exposed outdoor hanging. Every finished piece is then either oiled or highly polished.

The process of making is very personal. It’s just you, the material, your environment, background thoughts and techniques, all in the moment. It

becomes your life. With the manifestation of a physical object I want to evoke a visceral, physical connection.

The marks I make in the wood are so subtle, they look as if they could have occurred naturally: this sense of humanity within the natural world is the narrative I am looking for. Only a few pieces get close to that for me.

Working in unchartered creative waters, with air, fire and water, you have to be prepared to lose a piece. In the adventure of making, you don’t know where you are heading. You can read the signs, imagine and challenge yourself, but when you discover something new, that is amazing.

The buyer landscape is changing and there is a huge growth in the sophistication of people’s understanding and appreciation of made objects.

People talk about the demise of craft and the loss of heritage practices. I am of the opinion that you cannot kill what is human. As long as there is human ingenuity, hands and minds will always pick up a tool and continue to create.

I have spent time this year working with a new young talent, Luke Fuller, who has just won the Business Design Centre, New Designer of the Year Award. Helping to inspire and educate others is important to me.

My head is full of new creative projects. Always bigger and better, never a pastiche of last year. I have just exhibited at Masterpiece, and am currently working towards shows in the UK and America.

PHOTOGRAPH RACHAEL SMITH

THIS MONTH, we see how one forward-thinking family extended and re-imagined their Edwardian house in London (page 96), then head to New England to discover the tranquil delights of a Connecticut retreat (page 108). Plus, we admire an elegant townhouse in Surrey that has been reworked to make the most of the views (page 120).

Outdoors, what was once an awkward-sized, neglected space has been transformed into an inspirational garden (page 130), and we have seasonal suggestions for how to bring the best of autumn to your own plot (page 139).

uying a house is usually about more than size and location.

Often it is about details that express the spirit of a place. In 2015, Tracey Shirtclif was looking for a family house in west London and while viewing an Edwardian property on her favourite street, the sweep of the stairs and a curved wall in the sitting room hit the spot. The eucalyptus tree in the back garden merely served to seal the deal. Tracey wanted to put her stamp on a house and this was the one she knew she would also find a way to her heart.

Tracey hits life running with engaging, often fearless, optimism. She came to London from New Zealand in 1996 for a six-week holiday and never went back. More than 20 years later she owns and runs her own software business, producing tools for creative industries. Her perspective for this seven-bedroom house was centred on designing it for family life over the next 10 years when her daughter Madison, now 10, and son Harrison, eight, would be growing up. And that eucalyptus tree remains a touchstone, evoking memories of Tracey’s childhood in New Zealand.

Tracey’s plans for the house were typically ambitious. She wanted to extend the kitchen and excavate a new basement for a cinema and entertainment space, a gym, utility room and additional bedroom. She engaged an architect to take on the challenge of obtaining necessary planning permissions, then she began work with her builders on altering room layouts on the ground floor. ‘My first objective was to set up a view right through the ground floor from the front door, with the sitting room on the left retaining its period features and a certain formality,’ says Tracey.

‘Then the space would open out into a more contemporary enlarged kitchen, dining and living room with a wall of glazed doors to the garden.’

When Tracey realised she needed more help in organising spaces and making furnishing decisions she called in Lisa Schiller and Kim Beynon of Schiller Beynon Interior Design. ‘They were phenomenal at managing me,’ she says. ‘I talked to them a lot about maximising daylight, wanting

Five glazed rooflights in the ceiling set up the relationship with natural light and the outdoors that is so important to Tracey. She trained as a geologist and her love of stone inspired her choice of limestone flooring with visible fossil elements. White and of-white finishes run across floor, walls and cabinets optimising light reflection, while touches of soft gold are seen in low tables, seating and pendants.

functional spaces for family life with the children, and designing schemes for their rooms that would last through their teenage years.’

The reorganisation of rooms on the upper two floors was a major undertaking. ‘On the first floor there were four bedrooms and three bathrooms and on the top floor three bedrooms and three bathrooms,’ Tracey explains. ‘Lisa and Kim helped me work out how we could get three bedrooms and three bathrooms on the first floor and a bedroom suite with bathroom for me on the top floor. The builders thought I was mad to reduce the number of bedrooms but really, the house would still have five instead of seven with the one I was adding in the basement.’

One factor influencing choice of decorating colours was the importance of achieving an easy flow between areas. With this in mind, there are no hinged doors in the house – every room has pocket doors, custom made to a wider specification. Also, echoes of soft green are repeated throughout, a reference to the beloved eucalyptus. Tracey loves gold as well, not bright and shiny but dulled and muted. Mixed with shades of white it reappears all the time in furniture, textiles and accessories.

The refurbishment took three years and there was great excitement when the children were shown their bedrooms for the first time, being designed to their own specifications. ‘There are so many things I love about this house,’ Tracey observes, ‘and when I walk through the front door, that’s often the moment I realise just how lucky we are to live here.’

N

ot long after their first child was born, Brett and Greg Heyman decided to look for a permanent city escape for their young family. ‘We both love the city, but we also wanted our children to be able to run outside freely,’ says Brett. ‘We had been renting houses near the beach in the Hamptons, but we couldn’t aford to buy one of our own. Then a friend of a friend suggested that we take a look in Litchfield County in Washington, Connecticut. The area felt very easy and mellow, and it had a strong local community.’

COUNTRY COMFORTS Litchfield County is populated with many older properties, but all too often their layouts and fittings do not cater for modern family life. For this reason, new buyers tend to demolish and rebuild their houses. The Heymans were lucky enough to stumble across a clapboard property, which had already been updated by the owners some years before. ‘The house was basically new,’ says Brett. ‘But, as with all rebuilds in Litchfield County, planning laws meant it had been designed to sit within the footprint of the old home as well as fitting the local vernacular.

As Brett had just started her company, Edie Parker (named after their eldest daughter), and Greg works as an investor, the couple employed designer Mark Cunningham to put together a relaxed, yet practical look for an interior that complements the building’s New England-style architecture.

FORCE OF NATURE Without any structural work to do, Mark was able to set to work painting and furnishing the house.

When it came to decorating, most of the room schemes were determined by the architecture, which features several panelled walls. Colours were chosen that highlighted this and enhanced the visual interest. ‘Brett wanted a complete departure from their city apartment, which is very bold, colourful and over the top,’ says Mark. ‘This is their

retreat that allows them to get away from it all, somewhere for the family to relax and recharge, and switch to a slower pace of life. At the same time, they are very fun family who love to entertain so they didn’t want anything that felt old and stufy.’

Although Mark settled on a country style that, like Connecticut, has both American and English antecedents, he enlivened it with mid-century modern furniture, huge squashy sofas, design classics and graphic artwork on a monochrome theme. ‘I love the juxtaposition of the bold shapes of 20th-century pieces with antique brown furniture against the soft paint palette inspired by nature,’ he says.

LOVING THE LANDSCAPE With the house completed by Mark, the couple themselves have focused on the 15 acres of meadow, trees and orchards, that came with the property. ‘Our neighbours’ property is beautifully landscaped, yet feels totally natural,’ says Brett, so we asked them to introduce us to their landscaper, Suvi Asch of Sea Green, and we worked with her to continue the same feel onto our land.’ Some trees have been cleared to make way for a vegetable garden and a pool, but the couple have also planted a number of trees themselves. ‘Surprisingly, I’ve got very into planting trees,’ says Brett, ‘to the point that I’m now more into choosing trees than fashion. It just shows you how the country seeps into your soul and changes your outlook. I couldn’t be happier.’

This little nook between the sitting room features a vibrant collage and an ornate chair that was sourced by Mark.

As in the kitchen, the colour scheme here is designed to reflect the exterior. Richard Serra’s etching Transversal #1, and the Frank Gehry cofee table ensure the decor does not feel too traditional. ‘Greg and I were

T

he original architects of André and Cara Calloway’s double-fronted Victorian home designed it with the views in mind. From the front of the house, almost every room looks on to the steeple of the nearby church. From the rear, the house looks onto a spacious garden bordered by mature trees. It was this, along with the generous proportions of the rooms, that encouraged the Calloways to buy the house in the first place and, 12 years later, reinvent it to make the most of the sight lines.

‘The spaces in our home are all very beautiful and elegant, but for us it is all about the views,’ says Cara Calloway, who is a development manager in philanthropy, working in the cultural sector. ‘We light the garden – which was designed by the Chelsea winner Charlotte Rowe – at night, so we have a view front and back no matter what the season or the time of day. ’ It was Cara who suggested, after 12 years of living in the house, that they look again at the design of the

interior, which the couple share with their two teenage children. Cara worked in the architecture and design world in London and Paris for nearly 20 years, so has a passion for the subject that she shares with André, who took the hint that ‘they could do better’ and took the lead with their reinvention project. As an entrepreneur, André has commissioned many commercial projects over the years and had already worked with architect Bryan O’Sullivan, who started out in the studios of David Collins, Annabelle Selldorf and Martin Brudnizki before starti his own architectural and design practice.

OPENING UP ‘Cara and I are both very interested in the environment we live in because it does play such a large part in the quality of your life,’ says André. ‘I have known Bryan for about five years but our understanding was always focused on commercial projects. This is our home, so obviously it is a very diferent thing and much more

РЕЛИЗ ПОДГОТОВИЛА ГРУППА "What's News" VK.COM/WSNWS

personal but we ended up collaborating with him on a wholesale redesign. We worked on the entire house – every floor was redone and every wall replastered.’

Part of the redesign process for the four-storey house involved opening up a number of areas to maximise the sense of space. A key example was the master bedroom, which was connected to the en-suite bathroom via new pocket doors and a substantially wider doorway.

‘Pocket doors are a great way to transform a space,’ says André. ‘You have to rebuild the wall with a wider opening and enough depth to hold the recessed doors.

But it does make a huge diference to your perception of the rooms on each side, even if it is the same floor plan.’

WHITE ON WHITE Bryan also worked on the restoration of many original details, from doorways to cornicing, in a rapid-fire programme that took just 12 weeks. A key piece of advice was to steer away from strong colours and opt for a palette of whites that help the details stand out and bring a greater sense of unity and calm to the house, especially in spaces such as the sitting room, which flows right through from the front to the back of the house.

‘We had the vision of all sorts of colours to begin with but that really changed along the way,’ says André. ‘The

124 | H&G | NOVEMBER 2018

whites really bring out the best of everything as the furniture and art become much more important within the home. Cara’s brother, in New York, deals in midcentury furniture and found some great pieces for us, like the dining table, but Bryan also created quite a number of bespoke designs for us. With the rugs, too, we used to have some quite highly patterned designs, but Bryan sourced more neutral, restful pieces that also tone things down. It all hangs together really well.’

BESPOKE LIVING The focus on bespoke pieces carried through onto the lower ground level, which also features a fluid sequence of spaces, including the kitchen, breakfast room and then a garden room by Trombé that connects, in turn, with the back garden.

For the kitchen, the Calloways opted for a handmade design by Crispin & Gemma, with a crafted timber island inspired by an old butcher’s block. ‘We are really drawn to the kitchen as a family but we do also use the sitting room a lot, especially in the winter, when we have the fire going,’ says Cara. ‘We do use every part of the house and it really works with teenage children and a dog. Each room is very elegant but it is also a practical, functional home for us all.’

K

ristina Clode left London 10 years ago for an East Sussex cottage, to make her garden dreams come true. ‘We bought the house because of the garden,’ she says. ‘I was looking for a project – a blank canvas – and I had quite a long wish list.’

The garden designer loved the rural setting and grounds of almost half an acre, and opted to look past the rundown house, the sloping site and an odd collection of buildings, including an Edwardian steam pump house and a decommissioned nuclear bunker. The overgrown garden was covered in brambles and overrun with rabbits, but it had charm.

Kristina, who originally trained in fashion, went to study at Capel Manor before working for several garden design companies. Her knowledge and experience meant she could identify what she should do to make her new plot work.

‘It was all one garden with the house plonked in the middle,’ she says, ‘and I wanted a separate front garden and garden rooms. That would take you on a journey around the garden, and you wouldn’t see everything all at once.’

To get rid of the rabbits, she redid all the boundary fences, adding wire sunk a foot below the ground. ‘Most of the structure was put in when we did a two-storey extension in 2010 – the builders terraced some areas, put paths down and dug out a pond. Then we tackled each section a bit at a time.’

Now, the front garden has a wildflower meadow, which is in full bloom when Kristina opens the garden to visitors each June. Loosely planted ornamental borders around it

The main focal point behind the house is a huge old apple tree with a swing. ‘Everyone is amazed by it, because it’s hollow, but still produces hundreds of apples.’ There are more seating areas nearby, with an upper patio outside the conservatory and a pergola, smothered in wisteria in spring.

From there, a large lawn sweeps down to more borders, and reaches across to the vegetable patch and fruit cage.

Making this garden led to other projects, and Kristina has now set up her own practice. She will always be grateful, however, to have had the chance to create her own little piece of heaven. ‘When you are a designer, you stick to the client’s brief,’ she says, ‘so it’s lovely to have a space to make what I want, that has all the plants I’ve always wanted to grow.’

SCULPTURAL SCREENS Plant hornbeam or beech hedges to create the efect of rhythmic waves as the leaves turn russet brown.

Alternatively, install trellis panels across the width of the garden to create a series of rooms. (The Garden Trellis Co, gardentrellis.co.uk has a good choice). Use the gaps in between to allow glimpses of the planting beyond and to define a pathway through the seasonal highlights en route.

HOW TO CREATE

AN AUTUMN GARDEN Enjoy a tapestry of colours and textures by combining the best this season has to ofer, with bright berries, fiery leaves and those final flowers of the year NOVEMBER 2018 | H&G | 139

Colour comes in many diferent forms at this time of year. The exquisite pink and turquoise berries of Clerodendrum trichotomum (harlequin glorybower, right), look like tiny clowns’ caps, while the bright violet beads of the aptly named beauty berry (callicarpa) make a great match for pastel-coloured asters. To complement red and orange autumn foliage, include Euonymus europaeus (spindle tree) in your garden, with its orange-pink fruits, or the hot shades of holly and pyracantha (firethorn) berries.

Make a great soil conditioner by running the mower over autumn leaves on the lawn.

Pop the shredded foliage in a bin bag, puncture a few holes in it, and leave for a year to decompose.”

EXPERT ADVICE GRASSES FOR AUTUMN INTEREST NEIL LUCAS,

owner of grass specialist nursery Knoll Gardens, knollgardens.co.uk.

Which grasses are best for autumn displays? My favourites include the tall Miscanthus sinensis ‘Malepartus’ with its deep-purple flowers that fade to silver against the yellow-tinted autumnal foliage. Another tall beauty is Molinia ‘Windsaule’. The stems and seedheads of this moor grass turn butter yellow in autumn. Or, for a smaller plant, try Pennisetum ‘Dark Desire’, which has large, fluffy, cylindrical dark flowers that are simply irresistible.

What plants would you combine them with? These grasses work well with a wide variety of shrubs, such as Rosa glauca, and perennial flowers with autumn interest. The perennials I particularly like to grow them with include persicaria, eupatorium, sanguisorba and asters.

How do you maintain these grasses and sedges? Maintaining deciduous grasses could not be easier.

Simply cut the old stems down to the ground at the end of winter – March is a good time – then stand back and watch them regrow to their full height in early summer. It’s an amazing cycle that I never tire of watching.

TEXTURED SEEDHEADS Inject texture and movement into your garden with beautiful autumn seedheads.

Match the buf tones and wand-like stems of grasses, such as molinia and miscanthus, with dark red hylotelephium (left). These flat-topped blooms will produce chocolatebrown seedheads as the season progresses.

Mix in groups of cone flowers (rudbeckia and echinacea) and sea hollies (eryngium).

Both flowers and grasses provide a presence throughout winter, creating a magical landscape when dusted with frost and snow.

COLOURFUL CLIMBERS Create walls of colour with leafy climbers that spiral skyward, taking up very little ground space. Choose a Virginia creeper, with its sizzling scarlet leaves, or a crimson glory vine, which lives up to its name at this time of year.

Use their sprawling stems of vibrant foliage to scramble over walls, fences, pergolas and arches. Ivy is another good choice, creating a year-round textured green surface, while its small yellow autumn flowers ofer invaluable nectar for bees and other pollinating insects.

EXPERT ADVICE SELECTING TREES WITH EDIBLE AUTUMN FRUITS NIGEL COULTAS,

MD of specialist tree nursery, Ornamental Trees, ornamentaltrees.co.uk.

Which trees would you recommend for small gardens? Patio fruit trees are great for small spaces. They include apples, such as ‘Discovery’, and the pear ‘Beurré Hardy’, which produce fruit in autumn. Family fruit trees are also popular. These have up to three different varieties grafted on one small tree, so you can enjoy eating apples alongside cookers, for example.

What would you suggest planting under fruit trees? Fruit trees don’t like much competition for light, water or nutrients, so keep underplanting to a minimum. Lavender works well in sunny areas, or try Japanese spurge (Pachysandra terminalis) or hostas in shade and plant about a metre away from the trunk. Spring bulbs can also be planted in autumn.

What are your top care tips for fruit trees? Lack of water is the biggest problem, especially in the first two or three years after planting. Give them a large can of water once a week from spring to autumn, and keep the soil weed-free. Add Empathy After Plant Tree & Shrub (available from garden centres) around the trees each spring and remove some of the smaller fruits in early summer.

GLORIOUS REFLECTIONS Fire up your water feature or pond with strategically placed trees and shrubs that will reflect their autumn glory in the glassy surface. If you have space, mirror the vivid orange glow of a swamp cypress (Taxodium distichum) in a large wildlife pond, or use vibrant shrubs, such as a smoke bush (Cotinus coggygria), in a smaller garden. Place a fine net over a small pond to catch the falling leaves, which can turn the water sour as they decompose.

WORDS ZIA ALLAWAY PHOTOGRAPHS MARIANNE MAJERUS GARDEN IMAGES (COMBINE GLOWING SEASONAL COLOURS), GAP PHOTOS/CLIVE NICHOLS/ NATIONAL TRUST (GLORIOUS REFLECTIONS), GAP PHOTOS/JONATHAN BUCKLEY DESIGN SARAH RAVEN (FOOD FOR THOUGHT)

While harvesting the last of summer’s bounty in the edible garden, look ahead and plant some winter veg to enjoy in the coming months. Great crops to plant in autumn include onions and garlic sets, plus the seeds of winter hardy spring onions, such as ‘White Lisbon’, and perpetual spinach. Young plants of Brussels sprouts, kale and winter cabbage can be planted, too – these are available from the garden centre if you didn’t sow seeds earlier in the summer.

Remove faded blooms from repeat-flowering roses to keep new ones coming throughout autumn. In late November, leave the last flowers to die – they’ll then display colourful hips over winter.”

“

FIONA HARRISON MSGD, designer, fionaharrisondesign.com.

COMBINE GLOWING SEASONAL COLOURS Make autumn’s fiery red, orange and yellow leaves pop by combining them with more subtle blues, purples, pinks and creams. Consider a mix of pink sedums in your border, such as Hylotelephium spectabile (syn. Sedum spectabile), which bloom to the end of November, and a dark purple smoke bush (Cotinus coggygria ‘Royal Purple’). At this time of year, these muted tones will provide the perfect foil for the blazing foliage of a Japanese maple, such as Acer palmatum ‘Sango-kaku’, in its full autumn guise.

DESIGNER

Robert Burnett, director, Kitchens by Holloways, 020 8487 9422, kitchensbyholloways.com.

Can you tell us about the project?

The house is a six-bedroom Victorian semi in a conservation area in west London. We designed and built a large rear extension, after obtaining planning permission. The kitchen was designed and built in tandem with the extension, so we were able to plan the room without compromises.

How did you come up with the overall look?

The owners are a very creative, entrepreneurial couple with teenage children. They also have a beachfront weekend retreat, and wanted a similarly casual ‘Martha’s Vineyard’ feel in their city home, hence the whitewashed tongue-and-groove panelling. The Velux windows were key to harnessing plenty of light from above – you can’t do beach chic without the sun! In the dining area, we installed new sash windows. This gave us room to build in bench seating beneath, which allows plenty of lounging space when friends come around.

Why did you go for such a large pantry?

The pantry allows the kitchen to look pared back. We actually knocked a hole through to the side alley outside to make the pantry deeper. The walls are insulated to keep it cool inside, and the storage is incredibly well thought out. There’s a step stool, vegetable racks, wine cooler and microwave in there. The owners joke that it’s their favourite room in the house.

Which appliances did you choose?

The fridge freezer was a simple purchase – the owners just liked its design and ample storage. The range cooker took a lot more research. I gave them all the options, from a wide range of brands and price brackets, but, at the end of the day, Wolf won on power and performance. Initially they flinched at the price, which is understandable, but after they’d gone to Wolf’s showroom there really wasn’t any other contender!

What was your biggest challenge?

Besides the island construction – which was actually quite fun to work out – the hardest part was achieving a pared-back look with enough storage and equipment for all the parties the owners have. Positioning the pantry wasn’t easy. Now that it is there, it makes sense but it took a while to find the right place.

WORDS LINDA CLAYTON PHOTOGRAPHS RYAN WICKS

How did you keep it modern?

The island brings an industrial edge that’s slightly at odds with the coastal vibe but somehow works. The owners love to entertain and asked for an expansive island that they could load up with food and drink for their guests. The island is four metres long and they wanted it to look like it landed there in one piece.

We spent months exploring how to achieve this in concrete, but there was never going to be sufficient stability, especially with the cantilever bar at the end. Eventually we discovered an engineered concrete aggregate called Kourasanit that was layered on, like polished plaster and then varnished. The island was installed a year ago and still looks flawless.

TAILOR MADE Understated elegance is the key to this impeccably sophisticated scheme

DESIGNER

Hubert Zandberg, Hubert Zandberg Interiors, hzinteriors.com.

Can you describe the project?

This room is in a grand stucco-fronted property in London that had been used as offices for a number of years before being converted, rather unsuccessfully, back into a house. My clients lived in the house for a while before taking on the refurbishment, to see how they wanted to use the spaces. This room, for example, was formerly the dining room but it made much more sense to make it a sitting room in which they could meet business clients, as well as entertain family and friends.

Did you make any architectural changes?

The detailing, such as the cornicing and skirting boards, felt rather insubstantial, so we scaled it up a little, while adding a slightly more contemporary edge. For the sake of balance, we swapped the small fireplace for this rather monolithic, Art Deco-inspired design.

WORDS RACHEL LEEDHAM PHOTOGRAPH SIMON UPTON

What inspired the colour palette and materials?

My clients both dress beautifully, and their sense of style inspired a late-Forties approach. The palette is understated, using a mix of parchment, taupe, blacks and browns with luxurious fabrics – mohair velvets, silks and wools. The key to understated dressing is good jewellery and I have approached the scheme in the same way, introducing a bit of ping with metallics including the wall lights and brass accessories.

Can you offer tips when it comes to planning seating?

Once we have done the basic seating plan, which in this case was a very obvious choice of a pair of sofas and a pair of armchairs, we look at opportunities to add pieces that will provide extra seats when the room is full of guests. People would never perch on a coffee table but they are happy to sit on a soft ottoman, hence the pair of upholstered ottomans as well as a pair of benches, which are tucked beneath the Gio Ponti-style console tables. These pieces fill the room beautifully and offer the chance to bring more fabrics into the scheme.

Tell us about the oversized mirrors?

This comes back to balance. We needed strong architecture on this elevation, and these bespoke mirrors almost appear like openings in the wall. My mentor, the late David Champion, always taught me not to be afraid of scale and I have taught my team the same. I always say that if you think something is a bit too big, make it bigger.

BLUE NOTES Striking walnut storage helps to zone the dining area within this large living space

DESIGNER

Rebecca Leivars, Leivars, 01243 785508, leivars.com.

Can you describe the project?

This Thirties property in north London was part of a huge house before it was sliced in two by a developer. The main living space incorporates the dining and sitting areas, as well as the kitchen. The sitting/dining area was originally painted white, making it a cold, sterile space, with a wall of glazing and large, concrete-effect ceramic tiles that made it echoey.

How did you approach the space?

I needed to tone down the hard details in order to give the room a softer feel. It was important that the client would feel comfortable dining here alone. Key to this was zoning the different areas, so for the dining space, I wanted to use striking joinery to create a large-scale focal point that would add interest and warmth, while improving the acoustics.

FEATURE RACHEL LEEDHAM PHOTOGRAPH NICK SMITH

Can you tell us more about the joinery?

I designed a feature wall of floor-to-ceiling sliding doors made from slatted walnut. The rich tones of the timber help warm up the space, while the vertical slats are great for absorbing noise.

Doors conceal shelving that houses the client’s collection of chinoiserie vases. The shelves have been painted an inky blue to complement the sofa, which the client brought from her previous home and I reupholstered in a dark indigo linen.

What can you share about the colour palette?

The walls are painted a deep blue with a soft lavender accent to it, which brings intimacy to the space. In the sitting area, there were originally two large rectangular alcoves on either side of the television, which I infilled to make them slimmer and created shelves painted the same blue as the walls so as not to detract from the timber storage feature. Mustard yellow works well against blues, adding a punch of colour. It also contains a hint of brown that ties in with the walnut.

What about your choice of pieces in the dining area?

We wanted to create a Sixties European feel. This is beautifully encapsulated with the pendant light, which has a brass finish that works perfectly with the mustard and walnut tones. I was concerned that a round table would encroach too much on the walkway through to the living area, so I suggested a rectangular design with curved edges instead. The low-level chairs are brilliant high-street buys that reference the shape of the table.

They have just the relaxed, vintage look we tried to achieve.

Duravit’s Starck 1 freestanding oval bath takes centre stage under the bay window.

Vintage-look tiles meet minimalist fittings in this beautifully balanced new bathroom DESIGNER

Thomas Griem, director, TG-Studio, 020 7636 3838, tg-studio.co.uk.

Can you describe the project?

The property, in Chelsea, was once two apartments, one above the other, which we amalgamated to create a four-bedroom duplex. A portion of the lower living room was taken for this en suite. The bay window was ideal for the bath, but we had to do a lot of work to plan the new waste that runs back to the communal services.

What was the design brief?

The client wanted elements of a traditional English bathroom, and he has a particular fondness for Victorian-style tiles. Our brief was

166 | H&G | NOVEMBER 2018

Where did you start?

From the ground up, with the requisite Victorian-style floor tiles.

After much hunting, we discovered the perfect pattern on an industrial-style, concrete-look porcelain base. The wall tiles are in veined white marble to inject a touch of luxury and timelessness.

Can you tell us about the vanity unit design?

This is a unique piece designed in-house. The feet are in stainless steel and the main unit features drawers and doors with a recessed handle, all in stained oak. The inspiration is from the Forties, which complements the beautiful Art Deco mirrors. The top is made out of chunky white Caesarstone, a very durable composite, and the basins are undermounted to provide a contemporary flat surface.

Is there a shower?

Yes, in fact it is more of a shower room to the right of the vanity unit.

Inside, there are black tiles on the floor and walls and even the ceiling is painted black. The effect is very cocooning.

Are there any other notable details?

The brassware is minimal, modern and sculptural – it was important to match this with more traditional elements. I would also suggest storage is today’s new luxury, particularly in urban homes. This bathroom features 50cm-deep, full height storage behind stained oak doors, which can handle any amount of towels and toiletries.

H&G DESIGN DREAM GARDEN

MODERN GEOMETRY A formal framework, abundant naturalistic planting and a reflective pool bring welcome winter interest to this garden DESIGNER PROFILE Christopher Bradley-Hole is an internationally respected landscape designer and author, who originally trained as an architect. He has lectured across the world and is a multiple Gold-medal winner at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. His work on public projects, most recently at RHS Wisley, is done alongside private commissions.

What was your starting point for this garden’s design?

This is the front garden of a large site that had already been partially developed, so I needed to respond to both the house and to the garden behind it – which was the work of Piet Oudolf and featured his characteristic prairie planting.

What did you want to achieve?

The garden is effectively an informal courtyard framed by the house and newly erected outbuildings. The aim was to make this space quite distinct from the back garden, yet for the two to work sympathetically together, with different yet complementary planting.

What are your chief design inspirations?

I have always been attracted by a classical sense of geometry and proportion: I like grids and gardens with a firm framework. It is also very important to me that the garden I design should acknowledge the period and style of the house.

How did those interests influence your design here?

As in every garden I landscape, I wanted to impose a sense of order through the planting and the geometry of the design. The plants and the central building echo both the proportions of the house and also serve to connect the garden, which is approached from a country lane, with the landscape beyond. The garden is layered, and the different levels are quite expressive.

What were the particular challenges of the site?

The house lies on the Surrey/Hampshire border, and is in the pre-Arts and Crafts vernacular architecture of the area. It is slightly higgledy-piggledy, so the challenge was to create what amounted to a street plan through the garden that would relate to the house.

How does the planting relate to the design?

Stone paths are arranged in a geometric grid to link the house and its outbuildings. These paths cut through the beds, which are all planted with large blocks of grasses or perennials. The plants were chosen for their equal competitiveness, so that they would grow to more or less the same size and height. That in itself gives a sense of solidity to the garden, while the grasses really come into their own in winter, providing colour, texture and sound.

What other considerations affected your choice of planting?

Most of the plants that I have used are tall and were chosen to look

KEY PLANTS Q Miscanthus sinensis ‘Undine’ is a vigorous grass, providing almost year-round interest.

It copes with light shade and grows to 2.1m.

Q Molinia caerulea ‘Moorhexe’, or moor grass, is tough and adapts to both dry and damp conditions. A low-growing (90cm), clump-forming green grass, it has long flower spikes.

Q Melica altissima ‘Alba’, or Siberian melic, prefers an open, sunny position, and is a self-seeder. This leafy, upright grass grows to 1.2m, and will flower again if cut back after its first flush.

Q Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Karl Foerster’ is a tall, upright grass. It grows to 1.5m, and, for best effect, should be planted in large blocks.

Q Hakonechloa macra is a low-growing (75cm), long-lived plant that forms dense clumps and will grow even in deep shade if the soil is sufficiently moist. Good as an edging plant.

after themselves over a long season of interest. They also capture the feeling of natural wildness that helps this garden to run almost seamlessly into the countryside beyond.

Can you tell us more about the double-cube pavilion?

I designed the pavilion as two interlocking cubes, with one cube lifted by 450mm above the other. The idea behind the design was to create an internal space that is open and transparent, yet feels pleasantly enclosed when you are sitting in it. Although it is a contemporary design, the pavilion has several different levels and that associates strongly with the complex proportions of the pre-Arts and Crafts house.

How does the reflective pool fit into the scheme?

Water is an important feature in almost all my gardens. Here, the grid-like shape of the pavilion is reflected in the pool beside it, with the reflections looking almost like a continuation of the gridwork of paths. Keeping the pool water level high gives any garden a sense of abundance: here the reflections of the grasses scatter the winter light.

Is a formal garden like this easy to care for?

It’s very important to watch what is going on in a garden like this.

I suggest observing closely month by month and keeping a careful photographic record so you can make changes out of season, such as taking action if one plant is outgrowing another.

With colour, they also add visual appeal – especially useful in the functional environment of a kitchen.

a space and have the ability to redirect the eye. When incorporated into an interior scheme, they inject a dose of understated elegance and sophistication. I’m drawn to layering when designing an interior scheme, and incorporating stripes into the design provides the perfect structure that can then be contrasted with other designs, pattern and colour.

Q Using stripes in the same width tends to portray a more classic look, while different widths render a more edgy, modern style. Mixing different widths creates a playful element and works well in children’s bedrooms or small spaces for a punchy impact.

Don’t be afraid to use a combination of both horizontal and vertical stripes in different colours to add a bold yet playful twist. Also consider pairing different finishes for the stripes, such as satin and gloss for a crisp, contemporary look.

Q Stripes tend to create the illusion of space: vertical stripes make ceilings look higher and horizontal ones make rooms appear wider, so they are perfect in spaces that are quite compact. In a small bedroom, we used a combination of both vertical and horizontal stripes to elongate the room. Conversely, using vertical stripes in an already large room accentuates the ceiling height and expansive nature of the space.

Q To prevent stripes overpowering a room, choose your colour palette and then add pattern and accents of that colour palette in darker and lighter shades. If you feel hesitant about decorating with stripes, perhaps start with a small room or space in your home. Or as an introduction to using graphic pattern into your interior scheme, use a decorative element, such as a striped vase or striped cushions.

PHOTOGRAPH INTERIOR ARCHIVE/FRITZ VON DER SCHULENBURG (GROUND CONTROL)

Q A smart stripe – whether wide or

narrow – is a classic pattern that will visually elongate and widen a room, just as floorboards do. Striped floor coverings began to be introduced into homes about 10 years ago in a rather tentative way when the first collections arrived on the market.

Q Appreciated for their dirt-defying nature, stripes were initially confined to high-traffic areas, such as stairs, but their appeal is now spreading. Taking inspiration from the fabric world where stripes are everywhere, flooring has now caught up and offers a far greater choice of designs than ever before.

Q Today, the floor is increasingly being used as the ‘fifth wall’ and pattern gives a room instant character and vitality. Brightly coloured striped floors provide an opportunity to inject colour and set contrasts.

Q Striped carpeting on stairs makes a design statement as soon as you enter a house, but it needn’t be limited to this area. More people are finding the confidence to play with different breadths and scales throughout the house, from broad to ticking and pencil stripes.

Q Wall-to-wall broad stripes work well in living rooms and people are much more willing to experiment with breadth and scale. You can layer elements on top to soften the look, while still maintaining a bright and colourful feel to the space.

Q Children’s bedrooms are another great space for wall-to-wall striped floors. This pattern reflects the fun and energy of young people – we even have a bit of neon in one of our designs, which is proving extremely popular.

Q For a more sophisticated look, there’s always the option of having a two-tone pinstripe carpet, which gives a more tailored look to a room – this works well in a study, for example.

FLOOR SHOW A striped rug against an otherwise plain background is a powerful tool in interior architecture – it has the effect of redirecting the eye and reshaping a space.

GROUND CONTROL Make a statement in the entrance to your home by choosing a bold, monochrome striped floor covering in the hall. Set against the elegant and ornate detailing on the balustrade and doors, it keeps the space upbeat and contemporary.

“

Stripes work really well in a darker, less interesting corridor that has no windows, and they add interest to an otherwise bland space.”

IS A MATT FINISH PAINT SUITABLE FOR MY KITCHEN CABINETS? I’d like to update my units in a matt paint but can’t work out which paints have minimum sheen and if they would be suitable for a project like this? YMcD, Glasgow.

All the paint companies I contacted wanted to know the present finish on your cabinets before fine-tuning their advice, so check out any preparation required before you begin. Sheen levels can be found on companies’ literature or websites and any paint rated at 15 per cent sheen or less is regarded as semi-matt. Water-based Wood & Metal paint in Matt finish

by Mylands, 020 8670 9161, mylands.co.uk, is the lowest I’ve found with a sheen level of only eight per cent. It is recommended for interior woodwork so would be suitable for your cabinets. It comes in all the company’s Colours of London at £28 for 1L. Little Greene (above), 0845 880 5855, littlegreene.com, offered an alternative solution. Its technical team told me that the method often followed by bespoke cabinet makers to get a completely matt finish is to paint furniture in the company’s Intelligent Eggshell, £30 for 1L (15 per cent sheen), then apply Dead Flat Decorator’s Varnish, £20.04 for 1L, Polyvine, 01934 740305, polyvine.com.

WHO SUPPLIES TEXTILES PRINTED WITH SUMMER FLOWERS? I’d like to cover a bedroom chair in a floral print to enjoy all year round. I’m thinking hollyhocks and foxgloves more than roses. Are there any designs like this available now?

RS, Stockbridge, Hampshire.

CAN ANY ELECTRIC STOVES PASS AS WOODBURNERS? I need supplementary heating in my study and wonder if there are any electric fires that look like woodburners?

OM, Hexham, Northumberland.

Electric fires that can be plugged into any 13-amp socket are useful for additional heating and there are a number of freestanding versions in a woodburner style. Those mentioned here routinely give a heat output up to 2Kw and most come with a remote control and safety thermal cut-out. A compact model is Malvern, £695, or for a more contemporary take, the NEO 3F, £1,089, both by ACR, 0121 706 8266, acrheatproducts.com. The winning feature is the advanced flame technology. It projects flames

186 | H&G | NOVEMBER 2018

in the front, centre and back of the fuel bed and has four flame settings – high, medium, low or glowing embers – coming ever closer to the look of a genuine woodburner.

Gazco, 01392 260900, gazco.com, is another provider, with its range including the Marlborough (above) in two sizes, from £749, with three flame levels, and the Vogue Midi with 13 fuel bed lighting colours, £995. At Yeoman, 01392 261900, yeomanstoves.co.uk, the CL5 is a neat model with three flame levels and remote control, £965.

Designed in 1937, Hollyhocks (top) is so summery you almost want to pick the flowers and put them in a vase. It’s now printed on viscose/ linen in four colourways, £64m, Sanderson, 020 3457 5862, stylelibrary.com/sanderson.

Jessica (middle) is also available in four colourways on linen and is a gentle evocation of summer with its finely drawn flower trail including fuchsia and agapanthus, £79m, Colefax and Fowler, colefax. com. New at Jean Monro, 020 7259 7280, jeanmonro.com, is Lustmore (bottom), a painterly take on foxgloves available in three colourways on linen, £114m, and then there’s Hollyhock, an exuberant large-scale hand-block print on linen in one colourway, £372m. Maud, another pretty option, has sprays of foxgloves adapted from a vintage textile recalling summer days, on linen in one colourway, £63m, Odd, 01993 830674, oddlimited.com.

Lighting is one of the most important aspects of any living space. Beyond its obvious functional uses, it has the ability to change the mood of a room as well as create the illusion of space.

Often categorised into different types of lighting, key to a successful scheme is to use layers of lighting to build atmosphere, create visual interest as well as perform certain tasks. Over the following pages, we demonstrate how you can make astute design statements with lighting throughout the house, including invaluable advice from the experts at OKA.

“An element of task lighting – for finding keys, for example – is always needed in dark hallways, so I’d always suggest using downlighters. In smaller spaces, wall lights can narrow a passage too much, but in larger halls don’t be frightened of using a decent-sized lantern and not hanging it too close to the ceiling.”

MAKE A STATEMENT An aesthetic light source when turned on and a sculptural focus when switched off, a large pendant offers better distribution of light and also accentuates a room’s height, says Sophie Elborne of Kitesgrove, kitesgrove.com.

COSY CORNER

SPOT ON Having an independently lit floor lamp creates instant atmosphere when the rest of the room is cast in shadow. An opaque black shade, such as this one from Oka, oka.com, prevents the light from being diffused, instead creating a directional glow – just the place for a game of cards.

8 | H&G | NOVEMBER 2018

EXPERT VIEW THE RIGHT LIGHT REBECCA WEIR

Creative director Light IQ, Lightiq.com Q Task lighting is typically installed to

fulfil a specific function but is all too often overlooked in the living room.

Lights tailored for specific tasks reduce eye strain and create a more comfortable environment. If you are keen to move away from directional lighting in the ceiling, the key is to introduce plenty of layers of illumination, including decorative pendants and wall lights, picture lights, uplighters and lamps.

Q In more traditional homes, we are often wary of having downlights, and for good reason – they are often poorly placed and rarely serve their purpose. Directional downlights will highlight artwork and window treatments. Alternatively, place table and floor lamps around the room where people sit, and ensure they are on dimmer switches to allow for greater flexibility.

Q Think about all the different people who will use the room, including people of varying age ranges. We all like to think a room has plenty of light but as we get older, clarity and sharpness of vision start to be lost. At this point, elements of strong lighting are needed to compensate.

Q A common task undertaken in any living room is reading. For that, you need shadowless light. One trick is to get an incredibly slim dedicated reading light to sit discreetly next to a more decorative table lamp.

Plug it in under a sofa in a recessed floor socket so there are no wires trailing across the room.

Q It’s difficult to consider all the changes in lifestyle and interests that lie ahead so try and imagine a niece and nephew or grandparents coming to stay and all the small, fiddly tasks that might be required – from playing board games to knitting. Finally, where space allows, create a reading or crossword area with a small table and smart desk lamp.

Be clever about making spaces work as hard as they can. A slimline desk fits neatly into an alcove of this sitting room. Turn it into a space to either work or read at by adding an elegant desk lamp.

TWO’S COMPANY A pair of wall lights hung either side of a mantelpiece is an elegant way to fill otherwise empty space. Choosing a shade that reflects the gilding on the mirror’s frame can accentuate its opulence and grandeur.

AFTER EIGHT In adult zones, such as this study, create a sense of drama. A feature pendant by Roll & Hill, rollandhill.com, highlights the central area, with accent lighting on the sofa and shelves by Mäklin & Macrae, maklinandmacrae.com.

“For an interesting efect in the living room, include both upward- and downward-facing table and floor lamps. Accentuate your room’s special features by focusing a floor or wall light on a particular object, such as a piece of wall art, a plant or a chair.” HOLLIE MORELAND, creative director, David Hunt Lighting, davidhuntlighting.co.uk.

RICH BLEND This comfortable scheme, by Maxwell Barlow Lighting, maxwellbarlowlighting.com, demonstrates how strategically positioned layers of lights can illuminate a room without overwhelming it. A blend of recessed directional downlighters, uplighters, LED strips and decorative lighting on dimmer switches creates points of interest and focus against an all-over background of warmth.

creative juices alight by establishing a distinctive working area. Here, Gunter & Co, gunterandco.com, has paired a mid-century-style desk lamp in matt gold with a strong geometric print wallpaper.

In this basement a blend of decorative and architectural lighting by Sims Hilditch, simshilditch.com, produces pools of light and shadow – ideal for a cinema setting while allowing different areas to be lit for separate uses.

“Lighting is key to setting atmosphere in a living room. I always illuminate rooms with lamps, except where there are very dark corners, where I will put small downlighters in the corners of the room on dimmer switches. These can be used to gently enhance the illusion of daylight on a really dark day.”

SHINE ON In lofty rooms, draw the focus downwards towards the island. This design by Martin Moore, martinmoore.co.uk, uses industrial-style pendants with polished copper interiors, creating an accent colour echoed in the row of hanging pots and cookware.

STYLE & SUBSTANCE An essential part of any kitchen, task lighting doesn’t have to be dominated by downlighters – the following schemes offer design-led alternatives

12 | H&G | NOVEMBER 2018

РЕЛИЗ ПОДГОТОВИЛА ГРУППА "What's News" VK.COM/WSNWS

TIDY SOLUTION A good source of light is useful in a space used for cleaning, but instead of choosing landing strips of downlighters, consider pendants with strong directional LED fittings.

SINGLED OUT Achieve a really pretty and traditional country-house look by dropping a vintage-style pendant from the ceiling to cast light on the washing-up area, as in this design by DeVol, devolkitchens.co.uk.

“Kitchens are social platforms for informal wining and dining, as well as preparing food. Task lighting is vital for the food preparation area, with subtle lighting elsewhere. It’s about zoning in the space, to create diferent atmospheres for diferent purposes.”

TOM HOWLEY, creative design director, tomhowley.co.uk

TAKEN TO TASK In rooms where natural light is limited, good lighting is fundamental.

In this scheme by Elizabeth Bowman, elizabethbowman. co.uk, and FORMStudio, formstudio.co.uk, task lights are complemented by downlighters and backlit shelves for added depth.

РЕЛИЗ ПОДГОТОВИЛА ГРУППА "What's News" VK.COM/WSNWS

H&G LI G HTI NG KITCHENS

CLEAR VISION Any task that involves sharp knives requires direct light. For this reason, wall-hung lights are often a better option than recessed downlighters, where the tendency is to cast your own shadow onto the working surface.

“Architectural lighting has had a bad reputation of late – fittings such as downlights and LED strips have been overdone and used badly. The LED strip has been a great invention, and is a good way to add linear light to kitchen joinery. However, the key is to design the joinery detail so any LED strips are not visible once installed – if they are seen, it can ruin the scheme.”

MAXWELL BARLOW, co-founder Barlow & Barlow,

BETWEEN THE LINES Small details can have dramatic effects. Here, Owl Lighting, owl-lighting.co.uk, emphasise the clean lines of the floating shelves by underlighting them with a warm white LED strip and a diffuser to soften the light on the worksurfaces.

HOW TO LIGHT A ROOM Illumination is one of the most important considerations when designing a room scheme

O

KA co-founder Annabel Astor recently worked on a small but challenging apartment in New York that put this mantra to the test. The clients were a young couple who work from home and they needed their space to be versatile. Using OKA’s Ashmolean bookshelves, Annabel split the living room into two distinct areas, allowing one side to work as a sitting room and the other, a dining room that doubles up as a workspace. ‘There’s that saying, blue and green should never be seen,’ says Annabel, ‘but I threw that out of the window with this scheme. I wanted to show how you can use green as a neutral. It’s really such a versatile colour that is often overlooked.’

CEILINGS MATTER

“Even the simplest of schemes can be enriched with a well-placed chandelier. They add just the right dose of decadence and drama.”

ANNABEL ASTOR, OKA co-founder

DON’T FORGET TO BE DECORATIVE

“Creating the right lighting isn’t merely a practicality, it’s an essential. Table lamps create ambience and atmosphere while also serving as a talking point.”

N

avigating the world of lamps and lampshades can be tricky. You’ve fallen in love with a lamp base but now you need to choose the perfect lampshade to go with it. Where do you begin?

To find the best size lampshade, start by measuring the lamp itself using a tape measure or ruler. For the height, measure from the lamp base to the bottom of the rod (the vertical post supporting the bulb holder), so that the rod and the bulb holder are not included in the measurement. Make a note of the height and width.

There are three golden rules you need to

remember when it comes to measuring your lampshade: i) The lampshade should be wider than the widest part of the base; ii) the width of the shade should be equal to the height of the lamp base; and iii) the height of the shade should be two-thirds the height of the base. Of course, there are always exceptions. Keeping everything in proportion is vital so your lamp isn’t dwarfed by a giant shade or unbalanced by a small one. If your lamp is in between two sizes of lampshade, choose the larger of the two as it will work better proportionally and will distribute more light.

STRONG LOOK Against a neutral backdrop, coloured table lamps can play a leading role in a scheme.

Here, tall lights with ikat shades enhance this dining room by Ben Pentreath, benpentreath.com.

CROWNING GLORY In a sleek setting where smooth surfaces predominate, add a bit of dynamism. This shade,

by Patricia Urquiola, creates a striking counter note in a scheme by Shalini Misra, shalinimisra.com.

“Installing a large-scale pendant in a space not only ofers better distribution of light when it is turned on, but can accentuate the sense of height by drawing the eye upwards.”

SOPHIE ELBORNE, creative director, Kitesgrove, kitesgrove.com.

HIGH GLAMOUR It is always a good idea to have a talking point in a dining room environment and a centrally hung antique chandelier fulfils that role while diffusing light evenly over the dining table.

IN THE ROUND Where living/dining rooms are open plan, a statement pendant is invaluable in helping delineate the space. This chandelier, designed by Gunter & Co, gunterandco.com, takes centre stage here.

ISLAND LIFE A kitchen island is often the place to inject personality and colour into a scheme, as seen with these glass pendants by Curiousa & Curiousa, curiousa.co.uk. Don’t forget about ceiling strength: with heavy lights, a dedicated joist may be needed.

“Think about lighting artwork in a dining room to create atmosphere. Conventional picture lighting is still one of the most popular ways to light art.

The technique should create intimate light around the picture with less for the space around. For art that is the focal point of an interior, use a narrow beam spot to bring the centre of the painting to life.”

SALLY STEPHENSON, director, Owl Lighting,

“No bedroom is complete without bedside lamps. A pair of lamps on either side not only frame the bed, but also provide lighting for bedtime reading. A useful tip is to always make sure the bottom of the shades are level with your shoulders.”

EXPERT VIEW THE RIGHT AMBIENCE SALLY STOREY

Creative director John Cullen Lighting johncullenlighting.com.

Q Bedroom lighting needs to be

bright in the morning yet intimate and atmospheric at night to provide something of a restful sanctuary at the end of the day. Whatever you do, be sure to have the lights on different circuits with switches by the bed.

This is perhaps more important than in other rooms to avoid having to get out of bed to turn everything off.

Q Localised lamps provide the best sort of ambient lighting. In most bedrooms, it works well to have one lamp either side of the bed and at least one or two others – a standard lamp by a chair or a pair of lamps on a dressing table, for example.

They help give a soft background light to the bedroom.

Q In bedrooms with lots of in-built storage, think about lighting the front of the wardrobes with some discreet downlights. When the doors are closed, light will be reflected into the room making it look larger, but even more importantly, when the doors are open the light will illuminate the clothes inside.

Q Few things are more irritating than not having good-quality light to read by and sometimes a bedside lamp will do the job. Ensure the lampshade falls at shoulder height when seated to provide the best light to read by. A dedicated reading lamp is also worth considering, as it means the other person can go to sleep undisturbed.

Q Incorporating bedroom lighting into joinery is the ideal way to add accent lighting into the room, especially in more contemporary solutions. Undercupboard lights fitted into shelving will illuminate objects, or LED contour strips under beside tables create a funky, floating effect. And don’t forget a floor washer near the entrance to the bathroom to act as a night light.

COMFORTABLY COOL Statement ceiling pendants are often overlooked as an ambient form of illumination for a bedroom but they can be much more than a daring design look. Providing the

light can be diffused gently and flexibly by employing a dimmer, they can add playfulness to a space, as demonstrated in this design by Rebecca Hughes, rebeccahughesinteriors.com.

ON THE WILD SIDE Wall-mounted swing-arm bedside lights are a neat way to provide direct and adjustable light for reading in bed. In a room deliberately conceived to not feel overly designed, Beata Heuman, beataheuman.com, chooses shades in different yet complementary colours.

FREE FLOATING Consider fitting hanging pendants on either side of the bed instead of table lamps – it will leave plenty of surface space on bedside tables for books and water glasses. Marion Lichtig, marionlichtig.com, uses French antique lights to add texture and interest.

BUNCHED UP In an elegant setting featuring, for example, richly veined marble, gold taps and a gilded mirror, the mood can be lightened by introducing a thoroughly modern pendant light.

“Accent lighting is ideal for the bathroom, where you can highlight features such as an alcove displaying an array of gorgeous scent bottles. LED spots will throw light on specific areas, or strip lights can cast a background glow to highlight the whole recess. Also, think about washing the wall behind a freestanding bath with a light to set of a beautiful wallpaper or tiled feature wall.”

SMART ACT When decorating with black and white, be bold about choosing the decorative details but be sure to weigh the balance towards the white to create a brighter and naturally lighter space.

PERIOD PEACE For historic properties, a suitably tranquil approach is to choose glass lanterns either side of a large wall mirror. As well as diffusing light across the surface, the metallic surrounds will also reflect light back into the bathroom.
