Sense of character
Certain design elements add a touch
of character to a space, such as picture
rails, balustrades, architraves or a
stunning ireplace. Natalee loves to add
ceiling detail with tongue-and-groove
panelling, exposed beams or transit
windows, as this is a clean and
clutter-free way to add style.
On the other hand, Kim suggests
mixing the old with the new.
‘Older-style furniture will often have
much more character than new,’ she
says. ‘here’s always a story behind a
beautiful piece of antique furniture.’ ▶
