about

The Brief

To transform the ordinary interiors of a farmhouse and barn nestled in a majestic Dartmoor setting. We were asked to create a spectacular family home and holiday retreat, that draws inspiration from the outside. This relationship was to be tangible throughout our choice of finishes, colour palette, textures and craftsmanship.

Relax by the fireplace after a day on Dartmoor, enveloped in warming colours and textures.
Master Bedroom with a warming ochre and terracotta colour palette.
Hanging Swing Seat with Textured Cushions and Sheepskins

what we did

The Results

This cosy Sitting Area around the Fireplace combines a mixture of materials and textures: acacia wood, sumptuous velvets and tactile sheepskins.

What we did

We created several stand out spaces that connect these luxury homes to their magical Dartmoor setting. We reconfigured bathrooms, overhauled lighting, introducing stand out solutions, and fully furnished the interiors to provide comfortable living packed with originality. Memorable spaces include The Barn cinema room with their enormous modular sofas and lofty swing seat, the contemporary glass house doubling as yoga-cum-dining space and the ever so snugly boot room to gather fireside. We worked alongside talented local craftsmen, makers and contractors to realise our vision.

Styled dining table using dried foliage and bud vases.

The Result

A luxury retreat fit for all seasons, all weathers and all celebrations. Bowden Farm is marketed as a luxury holiday rental by Unique Homestays under the name of Gorsestone. images ©️ Unique Homestays
