What defines an English Eccentric Home?

Is it the time worn fabrics that cover old family heirlooms, or those lovely old country homes with ancient armchairs pulled up to a crackling fire? Could it be delicious afternoon teas set out under a wonderful old tree or is it a mixture of all three with so much more…

The English Eccentric Home takes old-world fabrics and furnishings and gives them a contemporary spin.

Old cashmere cardigans and silk nightdresses are transformed into beautiful decorative pillows; vintage fabrics are made into lampshades to compliment old lamps and vintage home accessories are given a new lease on life.
