Kate Middleton is decorating for a lot more than just the holidays right now. The Prince and Princess of Wales recently moved their family from Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Castle grounds into their “forever home,” as MailOnline dubbed it, at nearby Forest Lodge.
With its handsome Georgian-era facade, the historic eight-bedroom manor is already lovely enough, though Kate appears to be putting her History of Art degree to good use designing the interiors. Per MailOnline and Tatler, Kate has “thoroughly enjoyed” renovating the space with an eye for the “contemporary classic” look. In particular, the princess was spotted shopping for an antique 24-seat dining table and perusing the hand-printed textiles at Marina Mill—a royal favorite that’s also been used to source items for Buckingham Palace and Clarence House.

This isn’t the first royal abode Kate’s lent her design eye to: She previously oversaw the redesign of Anmer Hall, the Norfolk country house that the late Queen Elizabeth II gifted to her and William after their wedding. Her brother-in-law Prince Harry also called out her posh interior tastes when describing William and Kate’s previous home at apartment 1A of Kensington Palace in his memoir, Spare. “The wallpaper, the ceiling trim, the walnut bookshelves filled with volumes of peaceful colours, priceless works of art. Magnificent. Like a museum,” Harry wrote.

The family moved into their new home in early November, which means designing and renovations are well underway or perhaps even finished—though recent privacy issues seem to indicate the public won’t get much more of a sneak peek into the residence.
