'There are two ways to decorate a country house,’ says Bunny Turner, co-founder of interior design studio Turner Pocock. ‘One is that you dial pattern and color back and let the outside in, although this can feel quite bleak in the middle of winter. The other is to approach it in the spirit we did here, and have spring around you all the time. And that’s rather wonderful, isn’t it?’
There is something inherently uplifting about this house design, a historic former hunting lodge in Berkshire that dates back to Georgian times. At every turn, colors and patterns spark delight: a vivid coral cloakroom dances with spring flowers; a lobby is adorned with delicate clover leaves; a yellow sofa glows like a ray of sunshine in the sitting room. ‘We chose patterns and materials that truly sing in a country setting,’ notes Bunny.
