The clients were a young couple and their four young children who wished for a rural haven away from the everyday stresses of their work and lives in Surrey, where their main residence is.

The brief was quite open, in as much as the clients were open to Halo Design Interior’s suggestions.  However, they did want it to represent a change of feel from their main, luxury home in Surrey. Principal designer Blanca Sanchez felt that the setting dictated a certain approach, and she therefore wanted to ensure that the interiors had a connection with the rural setting. Furthermore, it needed to give a sense of calm and tranquillity, but at the same time give a sense of light hearted fun which represented the clients and their young family and the fact it was effectively a holiday home.
