How a sociable couple created an entertaining space that celebrates smart design

LOVINGLY RENOVATED BY CLAIRE AND SIMON, THIS YORKSHIRE STONE VILLAGE HOME IS THE PICTURE-PERFECT SETTING TO HOST CELEBRATIONS

A creative couple have transformed a tired cottage into something special: a home that dances with light, character, colour and seasonal decor

Throughout the festive season, this lively family home is decked with a gorgeous mix of garlands, greenery, flowers and trees that take their cue from the surrounding Yorkshire woodland

With its beautifully conceived palette and curated feel, this home is always ready for entertaining. The owners’ festive decor is equally welcoming, with a few cheery colour updates and touches of green doing the talking

A RECONFIGURATION AND A FRESH COLOUR SCHEME HAS BROUGHT NEW LIFE TO NICOLA’S ONCE DARK AND DREARY KITCHEN
