INSIGHT
Tom Cox of Hám Interiors
shares his expert tips,
go-to companies
and styling advice.SECRET ADDRESS
Barnes-based Tobias and
the Angel. The owner Angel
makes wonderful hand-
block-printed lampshades,
and her shop is full of
interesting and unique
decorative accessories.MOST SUCCESSFUL
PART OF THE PROJECT
The integration of reclaimed
and antique finds. Many of
the pieces were sourced
years ago and have sat in
storage waiting for the right
project. Antiques enhance
an interior and I was lucky
that so many pieces, such
as the pantry butcher’s
block, were the perfect size.GO-TO COLOUR
I am attracted to paint
shades in strong greens.
They make spaces
feel cosy, eclectic and
architectural; and always
elevate country interiors.GREATEST
INDULGENCE
It has to be without doubt,
the RW Atlas unlacquered
brass pot filler and basin
taps by Waterworks. They
age naturally and have a
life of their own.SMALL CHANGE,
BIG IMPACT
Changing the partition
between the pantry and the
boot room to a glazed wall.
It is wonderful to be able
to enjoy views into these
spaces from the kitchen.DESIGN
