<\/p>\nExisting pieces often informed the palette for an entire room, as was the case in the snug, street-facing sitting room, where a painting owned by Dominic, now hanging above one of the sofas, inspired Louisa to paint the walls in Edward Bulmer\u2019s terracotta-toned \u2018Malahide\u2019. This room also serves as an occasional extra bedroom, with a bespoke, extra-deep sofa (one of the few new pieces in the flat) doubling as a single bed. But the open-plan sitting room and kitchen has to be the pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance, a charming confection of colour and pattern, with the blue kitchen joinery, skirting and window frames taking their lead from the colours of a rug that Louisa has had for years. \u2018It really helps on a dreary day,\u2019 she says.<\/p>\n
So too does the glossy green hallway, built up layer upon layer by paint specialist Laura Ann Morris of Art Tropezien, which has an almost clubby feel. \u2018It\u2019s a windowless space and so it needed to sing for its supper,\u2019 explains Louisa. So impactful is it that it has proved a conversation starter for almost anyone who steps over the threshold.<\/p>\n

The curtains are in \u2018Java\u2019 linen by Susan Deliss, with a rug from Robert Stephenson creating a foil for the mix of prints.<\/p>\n

The two bedrooms and main bathroom are peak country house, with wallpaper providing a charming backdrop to a mishmash of antiques, skirted lampshades, suzanis and floral prints. The main bedroom took its palette from the colours of a beloved jumper, the browns of the Veere Grenney wallpaper and furniture offset by a turquoise lamp. In the spare room, she was able to use a Jean Monro fabric for the headboard that she\u2019d been \u2018drooling over for years\u2019, which clashes deliberately with Hamilton Weston\u2019s \u2018Kennington Stripe\u2019 wallpaper.<\/p>\n
The main bathroom is another properly decorated affair, hung with yet more wallpaper and furnished with a vanity converted from an antique chest of drawers and a chintz slipper chair. Even the bath has become a thing of beauty, with Louisa indulging her long-held desire for a shaped marble splashback: \u2018I wanted this room to be pretty rather than utilitarian.\u2019 The whole flat is an exercise in achieving this: a place where life can be lived well. \u2018It feels like arms around you when you walk in,\u2019 Louisa concludes.<\/p>\n
