Linda McDougald, principal and lead designer of Linda McDougald Design l Postcard from Paris Home, re-designed and renovated her home, which now showcases an innovative mix of contemporary and antique furnishings set against a dramatic linen, white, and gray palette. The English country home features floors of dark-stained oak, white painted hardwood, and Lagos Azul limestone. Antique lighting marks most every room, each of which is filled with exquisite antiques from France. At the heart of the re-design was an extensive kitchen renovation, now featuring a La Cornue Chateau range, Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, and Waterworks tile.

This bespoke orangery has created the ideal link between this Tudor style property in Berkshire and the stunning surrounding gardens. Expertly designed by Eddie Spillane, one of David Salisbury’s most experienced designers, this project was typical of the many benefits that an orangery or garden room can bring to a new home extension. Extending off from the existing kitchen, a spacious, luxury living room has been created, adding natural light into this period home. The existing house featured a patio from where the owners enjoyed sitting and enjoying the views of their garden, when the weather allowed. Although a perimeter hedge offered some protection from the elements, it obscured some of the views. The new orangery was designed to ensure this space can be enjoyed all year round, whilst the removal of the hedges enhanced these views of these amazing grounds. The ‘before and after’ photos shown below perhaps best illustrate this transformation. Measuring approximately 7.1m by 6.4 m, this generously proportioned orangery provided space within each of the three elevations for three sets of French doors, which can be easily opened to provide convenient access to the patio and garden. Cruciform bar fenestration on the windows and doors offers a nice design detail, whilst retaining a degree of simplicity. For the painted timber joinery, the subtle off white shade of Eagle Sight was chosen from our own unique colour palette, which continues to feature in our Top 10 colours for orangeries. In order to provide a lovely uniform temperature during the colder months, wet underfloor heating was specified, which also avoids the need for cumbersome radiators. Finally, immediately outside the orangery, curved steps and a new path helps to soften the impact of the raised patio area. The new orangery has created space for a collection of contemporary furniture, including a pair of sofas and a small table and chairs to enjoy breakfast or an informal meal. With the daffodils in full bloom, we could not have chosen a more picturesque day to photograph this bespoke orangery. Whatever the weather brings, a David Salisbury orangery is designed to be enjoyed all year round – to become the favourite room at home.
