Exterior
Snells Nook Lane is a self-built, Scandinavian inspired family home in Leicestershire. The simple structure informed the barn-like approach to the naturally-silvered larch cladding and the simple, Scandinavian-inspired interior.

Interior Palette
A simple palette of polished concrete floors, white walls and oak throughout give a simplicity which enable the character to come through the ecclectic collection of midcentury and antique furniture and interesting objects and artwork.

Kitchen
The budget-friendly kitchen was carefully designed around standard Ikea cabinets with highly practical formica-faced ply fronts were handmade in Bristol to Rhiannon’s specification. Deep drawers everywhere possible give an exceptional level of practicality, with extra space on the back of the island allowing for additional storage as well as the display of interesting objects, toys and books. The whole kitchen is balanced with the addition of a carefully-sourced antique dresser, which fits perfectly in the space and adds charm and practicality to the scheme.
