HOUSE of FUN
FAVOURITE PIECE ‘It is exciting finding a beautiful antique such as the hot air balloon pendant light in the snug. The moment Tess showed it to me, I knew we had to buy it!’
Shortly after Tess MacGeachy decided to leave the interior design practice she had been working for in order to strike), she was approached by her parents, June and Robin, with an exciting proposal: they had purchased a Georgian house in their village, and they wondered if Tess would like to undertake its refurbishment and redesign. ‘It really was the dream project for me,’ recounts Tess, adding, ‘I got my eye for interiors from my mum, who loves colour and pattern, so I knew that a big part of the brief would be a bold palette and some fun design touches.’ June continues the story: ‘The house was designed as a spill-over from our own home for our friends and family, including our three grown-up daughters; it provides the social spaces and additional bedrooms that we weren’t able to offer.’
