Entertain & Enjoy

Another door leads to a perfectly amiable
study. Tastefully decorated with a red feature
wall, this room could be a handy work-from-
home office or crafting room, with light filtering
in through the window.
Pass through the archway and into the
decadent dining room. Above you, a pendant
waterfall-light cascades over the ten-seater
dining table from the ornate ceiling rose, inset
into a dramatic tray ceiling. Creamy white
contrasts with soft violet and florals in this
enchanting social space.
In the summer, throw open the French doors
and enjoy your feast alfresco in the marquee
on the marble terrace, soothed by the sounds
of the tinkling fountain.

“At Christmas you can dress it up in dark purples
and golds with candles. It looks equally fabulous
with golds and creams for an Easter lunch.”
