With their living room facing north, Elle admits it can feel quite dark throughout the day, so embracing this with a warm, rich tone makes it feel cosier in the evenings. For their south-facing kitchen, a lighter colour palette makes the space feel bright and&nbsp;inviting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My advice to anyone wanting to experiment with colour is just to go for it!

The d\u00e9cor isn\u2019t strictly of the 1930s period but there are small nods to the art deco movement for instance, such as some of the lighting choices throughout the&nbsp;house.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Elle confesses she&#8217;s always been drawn to antiques and curios. Stemming she suspects from visits to her Grandmother&#8217;s house which was a true treasure trove. &#8220;She had the most amazing eye for interiors and she loved collecting antiques; I think that\u2019s definitely where my love of old furniture comes from! Their house was always full of family heirlooms and huge oil paintings &#8211; it was the most fascinating place to visit as a&nbsp;child.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12689\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12689\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/bedroom-furniture\/bedside-tables\/camille-limewash-oak-bedside\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12689\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/elle_the_home_bird-1-3075997.jpg?resize=400%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"elle_the_home_bird-1\" width=\"400\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/elle_the_home_bird-1-3075997.jpg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/elle_the_home_bird-1-3075997.jpg?resize=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/elle_the_home_bird-1-3075997.jpg?resize=819%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 819w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/elle_the_home_bird-1-3075997.jpg?resize=768%2C960&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/elle_the_home_bird-1-3075997.jpg?resize=110%2C137&amp;ssl=1 110w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/elle_the_home_bird-1-3075997.jpg?resize=380%2C475&amp;ssl=1 380w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/elle_the_home_bird-1-3075997.jpg?resize=300%2C375&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/elle_the_home_bird-1-3075997.jpg?resize=800%2C1000&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/elle_the_home_bird-1-3075997.jpg?resize=220%2C274&amp;ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/elle_the_home_bird-1-3075997.jpg?resize=760%2C950&amp;ssl=1 760w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/elle_the_home_bird-1-3075997.jpg?resize=600%2C750&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/elle_the_home_bird-1-3075997.jpg?resize=480%2C600&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12689\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A hand-applied limewash finish is given to each piece in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/bedroom-furniture\/bedside-tables\/camille-limewash-oak-bedside\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Camille Oak collection<\/a> for a beautifully weathered and traditional feel &#8211; so it pairs perfectly with Elle&#8217;s vintage finds<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One of Elle&#8217;s favourite pieces in her home belonged to her Grandmother &#8211; &#8220;I have several pieces which have been handed down through the generations but my favourite piece is a little vintage desk in the living room as it was my grandmother\u2019s. I love furniture that has a story to&nbsp;tell!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Like many of us, Elle reveals her interiors style has evolved over time. And while she finds herself drawn to modern country homes for their neutral, rustic aesthetic, she tells us her style feels more modern vintage &#8211; &#8220;with a splash of&nbsp;colour!&#8221;<\/p>\n<h6 id=\"old-meets-new\">OLD MEETS NEW<\/h6>\n<p>Mixing old and new furniture is a brilliant way of retaining, or injecting, a little character into your home. It&#8217;s a lovely way to utilise and display sentimental family heirlooms you don&#8217;t want to part with either. &#8220;I think you can easily mix old with new but my only advice would be to choose pieces that \u2018gel\u2019 well together, that are of a similar design and tie your scheme together \u2013 such as an accent&nbsp;colour.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12692 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/149162771_437458317494547_5128304430700515256_n-5247393.jpg?resize=387%2C485&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"149162771_437458317494547_5128304430700515256_n\" width=\"387\" height=\"485\"&nbsp; srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/149162771_437458317494547_5128304430700515256_n-5247393.jpg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/149162771_437458317494547_5128304430700515256_n-5247393.jpg?resize=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/149162771_437458317494547_5128304430700515256_n-5247393.jpg?resize=819%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 819w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/149162771_437458317494547_5128304430700515256_n-5247393.jpg?resize=768%2C961&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/149162771_437458317494547_5128304430700515256_n-5247393.jpg?resize=110%2C137&amp;ssl=1 110w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/149162771_437458317494547_5128304430700515256_n-5247393.jpg?resize=380%2C475&amp;ssl=1 380w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/149162771_437458317494547_5128304430700515256_n-5247393.jpg?resize=300%2C375&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/149162771_437458317494547_5128304430700515256_n-5247393.jpg?resize=800%2C1001&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/149162771_437458317494547_5128304430700515256_n-5247393.jpg?resize=220%2C275&amp;ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/149162771_437458317494547_5128304430700515256_n-5247393.jpg?resize=760%2C951&amp;ssl=1 760w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/149162771_437458317494547_5128304430700515256_n-5247393.jpg?resize=600%2C750&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/149162771_437458317494547_5128304430700515256_n-5247393.jpg?resize=480%2C600&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 387px) 100vw, 387px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Most of my larger pieces of furniture are from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Cotswold Company<\/a> as they marry so well with my vintage&nbsp;pieces.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to sourcing those one-off pieces for her home, Elle recommends Mus\u00e9e Home for beautiful vintage art prints, and Reclectic Vintage Interiors and Vintage Curator Interiors for more original artwork and&nbsp;antiques.<\/p>\n<p>Elle reveals she loves a spot of upcycling too, recently transforming an old school cupboard into a beautiful and storage-rich kitchen dresser. &#8220;My husband, who can be quite handy when he wants to be, added cornicing to the top, tongue and groove panelling to the back and new handles.
