Your first glance around this old house in Devon will probably take in the rich colours and sumptuous textures of the exotic rugs and smart upholstery, all the unusual cushions, plus the vibrant art and ornate antiques; but look beyond to the bones of the house and you’ll see that all these pieces sit against a fairly simple, off-white backdrop. ‘I love changing things round to celebrate the seasons, ’ says its owner Karen, ‘Having a neutral colour palette means you can do this very easily. ’ Karen, who was born and raised in Glasgow, renovated the home she shares with her husband John immediately after they moved in in 2002.
