This commission for a family home in Oxfordshire involved the complete redesign of rooms on the ground floor. After recently purchasing the property, our client wanted an appropriately impressive entrance hall and felt the existing modern panelling did not make the grade.

Working with the client, we moved forward with this C16th inspired parchemin design for the dado-height panelling, combined with elegant Tudor arches for the doorways. We also replaced the tired staircase with a classic C16th design.
