Art of Colour

ENTRANCE

Hannah wanted people to be surrounded by colour and texture the minute they step in the front door. “The deep green tiles wrapped right around the ceiling in a woven pattern is dramatic, and it takes your eye down into the house and out to the trees beyond, creating a sense of intrigue. It’s built-in artwork, and the tiler Dave is a talented artist.”

The Soren Liv dining table was bought for the space, says Hannah. “It needed to be round to make the foot traffic flow. I’ve decided that round tables are tragically underrated. They accommodate lots of people for their size, and make conversation easy and equal – that’s why they call it a round table discussion.” The Vitra chairs are from Citta and the pendant light is from ECC Lighting.
