Lifestyle

The following are just some of the homes we have loved and lived in. They were my original inspiration to start the Mushroom journey. What began as a hobby and making a home for our family turned into something more.

Country Home

We moved to this house in the countryside ten years ago. In that time we have modernised what is already a stunning home. Grade II listed, the original features do all the hard work; I just wanted to add a modern edge to it. It is surrounded by stunning countryside. We feel very lucky to be able to live in a home that brings so much joy. But as William Morris wrote in 1889 ‘old buildings do not belong to us alone, but are an inheritance we hold in trust for future generations.’

Portugal Villa

The basement in this villa which was storage and garaging was an enormous concrete shell and crying out to be utilised. By splitting the space we created two games rooms, a kitchen, shower room and large sitting room. The final effect was a light, practical and modern living area. Rented by Sun-hat Villas.

London Mews House

Taking this modern box and transforming it into a home was the main challenge. Lacking any period features we needed the character to be in the accessories. We wanted it to feel homely yet spacious and airy.

London Family Home

Taking 4,500 square feet of living space and turning it into a home was the major objective here. Cavernous rooms and lots of glass that needed to feel cosy yet maintain the feeling of space and light. This was our home for many years and where the Mushroom dream began.
