Dining room
‘We love to entertain, so it was really important for the dining room to be a space for all occasions. It’s a tricky shape, being long and narrow, so after struggling to find a suitable table I decided to make one myself from scaffold pipes. I finished off the look with six individual dining chairs that I brought back to life by upholstering them in a bold printed fabric and a lick of paint. The blinds in this room add colour and pattern to the wall and the geometric print gives the room a focal point.’
Good idea
Use scaffolding scraps to create a one-of-a-kind dining table

‘Our home renovation was the start of a whole new career for me’, says Florence. ‘I set up my own company making window treatments, called Window Hang-Ups. I now do interior designing for my clients, injecting my home-style into their houses’, she smiles
