At the back of the room, to the right of the dining table, a small pantry-cum-utility room is partitioned off with a bespoke glazed screen, something of a H\u00c1M Interiors hallmark, which adds a \u2018bit of architectural detail,\u2019 while enhancing the sense of space and light.<\/p>\n
\u2018A lot of effort went into creating the patina,\u2019 says Tom, referring to the specialist paint finish in the newly panelled sitting room, which still retains its original fireplace. The television is seamlessly concealed behind a painting on the wall above. \u2018To make it work, it had to glide to one side in front of the joinery, and we also needed to hide the visible tracks,\u2019 says Tom. \u2018It was a challenge to execute, but in the end, it paid off beautifully.\u2019<\/p>\n

A specialist paint finish gives the sitting room panelling an authentic patina. The sofa is upholstered in a timeless check, with cushions in a pleasing mix of fabrics.<\/p>\n

\u2018Wherever possible, we sought out pieces with history and character,\u2019 Kate says. \u2018And when we couldn\u2019t find what we needed, we created it ourselves.\u2019 That includes bespoke joinery and much of the artwork, which was produced in-house by Studio H\u00c1M, the family\u2019s creative studio and shop. Much of this is on display in the hallway which is wallpapered in Jean Monro\u2019s \u2018Lancaster\u2019 in Sage, and lit by Besselink & Jones brass wall lights with gingham shades by Merchant & Mills.<\/p>\n
Upstairs, the bedrooms are decorated in a happy confluence of coloured paint and patterned textiles. Rusty walls in the master bedroom are complimented by woodwork in a knocked-back sage and the ticking bed tester is balanced by headboard on \u2018Lavandou\u2019 by Nicole Fabre. In the bathroom, Claybrook tiles, a Water Monopoly bath, and Jean Monro\u2019s \u2018Lizzie\u2019 wallpaper evoke the kind of elegant nostalgia that defines this house. Even the children\u2019s twin room, with its antique chest of drawers and H\u00c1M wicker trays, feels considered and timeless. \u2018Each project is a way for us to explore the place and its history,\u2019 Kate says. \u2018To create something that feels authentic and lived-in, with a bit of folklore woven in.\u2019<\/p>\n
