HOUSE IN SURREY, ENGLAND

Oznell — Tue, 29 Mar 2022 16:55:05 GMT

Emma Sims-Hildetch is one of the younger English designers getting a lot of attention. I like what she did with this family house.

They kept the wonderful old beams of course, but "blasted" them, and she said it lightened things up considerably.

Here's where she shines-- she brings this simple little sitting room into the 21st century, but somehow there's still a little hint of "Miss Marple" around, just a hint!

Love the fabrics.

There's still room for practicalities, like an efficient mudroom.

Dining room goes a little more moody, but still retains that calm, timeless feeling, love the green out the window...

The homeowners are avid cooks, and they went for a perhaps more "sleek" kitchen than I'd go for in a house like this, but still nice.

Not much of a wallpaper person, but for some reason this bath enchanted me! Must be the soft blues. I love that the shades have that blue self-stripe detail too.

So pretty.

I bet they have several charming under-the-eaves bedrooms like this, with beams and quirky shapes.

Low-key, tranquil, timeless.

What a charmer.

I love how they transformed the beams.
The dining room is inviting, gosh, even the mudroom is inviting.

I wonder how long after the photo was taken that it took for the kitchen to become cluttered and look lived-in!

That's a designer I would happily hire. This house is beautifully put together without any sense of look at me, I'm designed.

Beautiful, warm and inviting. Looks like a home vs styled for the photo. Thank you for sharing.

Low-key, tranquil, timeless.

And not cluttered with items that serve no purpose. Looks practical, livable.

Very pretty home.

The only thing I would change is the print drapes (I prefer solid colors) and Burgundy/Wine/Maroon is not my favorite color in Home Decor so I would change that.

@Oznell What a lovely home it is. I like having lights over pictures. It adds a lot of ambience, I think. The bathroom wallpaper is so pretty and fresh. It looks like a house that's "lived in" and, that's a plus for me.

I like the exterior architecture and landscaping, but not the squared off shrubs. I like the interior spaces too, although I'd prefer a bit more color. Love that mud room - wish I had one off my back porch/yard entrance. The kitchen and dining area look very nice. I'm not a fan of wallpaper or floral drapery so those 2 elements are my least favorite things.

This is a nice house nicely done. I'd prefer a bit more color but they did a solid job with their chosen point of view.

Beautiful home....I would have to remove those two large pictures in the sitting room and make the kitchen a little less sleek and polished.

Very beautiful! I loved the way they trained the greenery to branch out across the top of the front door!

This is a beautiful home, but I found it unusual that that dining room table top didn't have something cleaver under each place setting to protect the wood.
