Cath Kidston’s country home is a honey-coloured hideaway near Stroud in Gloucestershire, with views that stretch for miles. The ‘higgledy-piggledy’ property, built as a farmhouse in the 1600s, then smartened up with a new frontage and Gothic windows in the 18th century, retains its old stone floors and huge fireplaces, and Cath has lovingly decorated around these to create an interior full of the colour, warmth and personality we would expect from her.
She also has an equally beautiful home in London's Notting Hill – all her design signatures are there, but the look is smarter and more contemporary, which proves that her essential decorating rules can work in any home.
