Honouring Tradition with Thoughtful Design

Engaged at the early planning stage, this comprehensive refurbishment of a traditional farmhouse in North Yorkshire encapsulated the client’s vision of understated rural luxury, where functionality meets exceptional aesthetics.

The client's specific request was to emphasize comfort and functionality, using natural materials to create a luxurious and inviting environment in a rural countryside setting. The incorporation of architectural details, such as carefully crafted plasterwork and panelling, served to safeguard the timeless and exquisite character of this home which reflects both the charm of rural life and the elegance of classic British style.

KPD methodically researched various historic colour schemes and traditional techniques such as block-printed wallpapers that would pay homage to its Victorian heritage, whilst creating a distinct personality for each room.  

Central to the design was the integration of modern comforts, advanced technology, and updated services that harmonized effortlessly with the home’s period features. Every room in the farmhouse was carefully curated to showcase its own distinct character, seamlessly blending traditional elements with refined comfort.
