To spruce up Fiona’s existing dining table and chairs, we sprayed the
formerly orangey wood black – “ebonising” it – and reupholstered the chairs.
Pendant lighting over the dining table gives a cosier feel.
One of our Indian dhurrie rugs is under the dining table; for the living
room, we chose one of the Moroccan-style Berber rugs that we’re known
for. We love these rugs: you can custom-order the colour, and though they
have a shaggy pile, they’re made from 100-percent natural wool that’s just
perfect for this climate.
What about the bedrooms?
For the master bedroom, we custom-made all new furniture, including the
base, the headboard, the blanket box and the pink-patterned slipper chair in
the corner. The original orangey parquet has benefitted from a dark walnut
stain; it contrasts beautifully with the silky-soft, custom-made white rug.
Fiona’s study features whitewashed carpentry for the new cupboards and
built-in desk, complete with a pin-board that runs the length of the desktop.
And the terrace?
We sourced the four-seater table, the lounger and the side table from Teak
& Mahogany. The flooring is original; it just needed an acid wash.
What sets E&A Interiors apart?
For one thing, we don’t have a house style; instead, we try to get a vision of
what the client would like and do our best to deliver that vision.
What’s more, we’re passionate about fabrics and we have a fantastic fabric
library! Having worked for a number of years with some amazing designers
and companies in Europe and America, I’m lucky to have great contacts with
dozens of brands – we represent about 35 of them here – many of which
are quite artisanal, husband-and-wife teams or small groups of craftspeople
who use hand-woven material and labour-intensive techniques such as
hand-blocking. The result is fantastic quality that will last forever.
