DRUMMOYNE HOUSE 2024

Two existing armchairs were recovered in a coral-coloured, self-patterned fabric, adding a punch of brightness to the otherwise serene space. The selected furniture sits on a pale blue rug, with slender, orange-red sinewy lines making a pretty pattern in the wool and marrying up nicely with the coral of the chairs. Chrissie’s suggestion for softening the angular panels of windows was to unify the glass panels with a seamless pelmet against the ceiling’s edge. A self-stripe hessian thread running the curtains length lends an earthy dimension, a connection to the pretty garden outside. Using the same hessian tones, the No Chintz workroom custom made binding for the hems and edges to further distinguish the curtains, while cleverly adding the practicality of a not white edge grazing the floor.
