Barnhouse, The Cotswolds

We were privileged to work on this property situated in the heart of the Cotswolds, in the prestigious ‘The Lakes by Yoo’ development.  In the middle of private woodland, this five bedroom home was intricately designed to be a countryside retreat.  The design brief was to create a luxurious and stylish interior that was also comfortable and brought the outdoors in.

One of the biggest challenges during this project was the shaped apex window with an 8 metre drop.  The designer wanted to soften the window with drapes, however it needed to be an operational window treatment to provide guests with privacy during the evenings.  We installed an Italian strung curtain to dress the window without restricting the view, that could be closed via a pulley system when required.

A statement House of Hackney fabric was used for the curtains in the Playroom and then Jab fabrics were used throughout the rest of the property.  A bespoke spray finished was used on the Curtain poles to ensure a truly unique finish.
