Inspired by our mid-century house! The floor tiles are Augustus Bluestone Tumbled tiles (toppstiles.co.uk) laid in herringbone to match the parquet. The wallpaper is Darjeeling wallpaper: Chalkhill blue from a company called Mini Moderns (minimoderns.com). They have a great range of retro style wallpaper, furnishings and fabrics. I love their Kitchenalia. The mirror is from Ebay.

This was a room inspired by High Road House (Soho House)…muted colours with grey velvets, fur, vintage accessories and mid-century pieces of furniture.

The fireplace started life as an ugly 1960s brick surround with a gas fire. We had the gas fire taken out and replaced it with a simple grate so we could have open fires and then we painted it white…so the transformation of the sitting room started!

The Ercol table is from Ebay. The clock was in a window in a French town – Le Touquet – and we managed to barter with the shopkeeper to reduce its price….

 

The cane chair was given to my husband by his neighbour when he said he liked it and she was moving it out of her house. A lovely piece of original mid-century furniture. The tan leather moroccan pouffe is from Graham and Green

 

The footstool was a ‘Danish style’ footstool from Ebay with a plastic leather effect cover. I had it covered in grey velvet.

The upcycled cupboard I bought off a good friend who was going to sell it when she redecorated her sitting room. The record player I bought for my husband with some records: a classic that I’m sure is making a comeback!

We added these shelves to these alcoves to make use of the space and to make it feel part of the sitting room…

Mystroskas from charity shops over the years and our photo wall…

We upcycled a well-loved sofa by covering it in a grey crushed velvet and added fur effect cushions…
