Each bedroom was conceived as a private sanctuary, enriched with bold yet harmonious colours, plush cushions and generous throws to create a sense of retreat and understated indulgence. The conservatory forms the heart of dining and entertaining — a light-filled, versatile space for shared meals, conversation and relaxed moments on comfortable seating.
The overall design honours the beauty of this charming 18th-century home, celebrating classic cottage character infused with coastal elegance — immersing guests in comfort and timeless Cornish charm.

The Brief:
The brief for this coastal cottage near Port Navas Creek was to embrace its rustic seaside character, blending charm with comfort to create a welcoming retreat where guests feel instantly at home.
The colour palette combined warm, earthy tones to add depth and cosiness, balanced with soothing blues and soft greens inspired by the surrounding sea and river landscapes, evoking a sense of calm and serenity throughout.
The snug was designed as an intimate haven for relaxation, a space to read, watch a film or unwind after a long journey. The main reception room, the first space to greet guests, was carefully curated to feel both inviting and uplifting. Deep, comfortable sofas and layered textures enhance the warmth of the room, with the original fireplace thoughtfully styled as its focal point.
