Porch refresh! Porches are a funny space, easily overlooked as a chilly, practical spot for dumping shoes, scarves, keys etc. Here we’ve stepped back from it and considered what a more elegant, welcoming, timeless feel would look like.

It will still be chilly but that’s ok, it makes entering the heart of the house that bit more lovely
