INTERIOR

Mark Whiteley has designed a classic modern interior based on the owners’ preference for brush-painted white panelling and deckheads, with contrasting mahogany joinery for walls and flooring. The overall ambiance, as they set out in their brief, should not be too busy or fussy, but calm and elegant, providing a ‘New England feel of relaxed elegance’ – achieved by Mark Whiteley with crisp mouldings and fine detailing to add a touch of contemporary sharpness. The selected mahogany is crown cut Swietenia, chosen for its nuanced warm tones to complement furnishing fabrics in equally subtle shades of ivory and cream.
