Add further details about your project here, like this: Harbour Escape is a six-bedroom Edwardian home a short walk from Swanage seafront, handed to us for a full renovation from top to bottom. The brief was to make it feel like a proper home, not a holiday rental. We redesigned every room around a palette that leans into the coastal light without reaching for a single anchor or rope motif. The only rule was that it had to feel lived-in from day one.
Sourcing took us to a salvage yard in Dorchester, a textile maker in Somerset, and several Saturday mornings at Swanage market. Every piece was chosen to feel like it had always been there — found rather than ordered. The full renovation and styling scope meant we could see it through from first survey to final cushion. The owners say they can't wait to get back every time they leave, which is really all we ever want to hear.

“My intention was for the interiors to feel connected to the surrounding seaside views, to create a kind of eternal summer with bright sun swept furnishings and palette representative of the British landscape.”
