One of the owners is a furniture designer and instead of a busy, chaotic study, a quiet thinking space with a comfy armchair is more apt. Continuing the tranquil grey palette with pops of colour is a theme in this room too, and the floating shelves add to the calming, open vibe.

Find Patrick Caulfield prints at Dominic Geurrini. Try Luna-online for second-hand armchairs like this one. IKEA have a good range of floating shelves.

The whole home is a live-work space, but instead of having a separate home office the owner has used part of the hallway to house a desk. A comforting warm glow from a floor light floods the area and reflects off the soft grey walls.

Try The Little Greene Paint Company for floorboard paint.

Continuing the peaceful vibe, even the bathroom gets the grey-with-a-hint-of-colour treatment. The blocked-in bath and shower complements the blocky, rectangular sink, but the corners are softened with vintage accessories, such as the basin and jug. To add to the calm, the owners can soak in the bath while gazing through the window at their weeping willow tree.

Aston Mathews sell a range of rectangular basins. Visit Appley Hoare Antiques for vintage bathroom accessories.

Thanks to concealed built-in storage, clothing, shoes and accessories are hidden away. The rest of the furniture in the bedroom is kept simple and understated, like the bedside table and lamp.

The throw is by Muskett & Mazzullo. Find a similar bedside lamp at Pinch.

The soft greys and natural wood furnishings are carried throughout the house to the bedroom. The throw adds tactile texture and the sheer curtains soften the effect of the floorboards. Just like the rest of the house, beautifully crafted, simple wooden furniture accessorises the room along with a dark chartreuse chair and retro-print cushion.  

SCP have similar chairs. Retrouvius are great for retro furniture.
