LOVE THOSE

LAYERS

Layers of linen, in delicate

prints and self-patterns,

create a cosy sanctuary in

this bedroom. Accent

colours reflect the moody

blues of the sea, on a base

of white. “I always choose

white linen,” says Adelaide.

“It enables you to use

pattern and colour liberally

in cushions and throws. If

you get tired of those, simply

change them.” The same

goes for lustrous decorative

pieces and an easy to

position tray table. #



ONE SISAL

FITS ALL

Flooring that’s hard-wearing

yet soft is optimal where

children are in residence.

Adelaide specified European

Tortoiseshell sisal from

International Floorcoverings

for this guestroom and other

bedrooms, as well as all the

rugs downstairs. “That

repetition helps pull the whole

house together,” she says.

“The sisal is lovely to walk on

and everything sits well on

it.” Its chunky weave has

a laidback quality that’s ideal

for a holiday home.
