SARAH VANRENEN
Sarah Vanrenen’s 300-year-old house, made up of three cottages and set in 1,000 acres of farmland, used
to belong to her husband Grant’s grandmother. The couple move back and forth between London and the
country each week, though Sarah has set up her design practice in Hungerford, about half an hour’s drive
from the farm. Sarah’s idiosyncratic approach to design, as well as her trademark love of bright colour –
‘On these rainy days, one needs a bit of cheering up!’ she says – can clearly be seen in the kitchen area,
with its flashes of teal, exuberant mix of fabrics and mismatched chairs around the breakfast table.
Upstairs, the bedrooms and bathrooms are equally colourful and eclectic, each with its
own highly individual scheme and mix of old and new. →
