A lesson in res tr a in tBuilt and twice extended, all in the space of
ten years , this large family home showcas es
the bes t in timeless design.
Compared to our last home it felt like we moved into Beverley Hills!
jokes Sophie S mith of her s pacious Ker ry hous e. Built in 20 01 it took
almost two years to complete. Her husband isnt an architect, rather
a chartered sur veyor and project manager, and he spent at least an
hour and half on the plans every evening in the painstaking quest
for their dream home. The builder is my husbands best friend, and
despite what people say about never mixing business with pleasure,
weve had very happy results. The house has been extended twice,
and the same team have come back to do all the work.
The hall represents the more formal side to the house, and shows
how its style has evolved. Wall panelling was added to the stairs and
landing two years ago and the mahogany stairs has been painted. One
thing that h as stayed the same is t he soft palett e of gorgeous neu trals
that ru n harmoniou sly throug hout the wh ole home.
The light- lled sitting room was originally planned as a playroom, but
once built the couple realised it would make a lovely living space. The
furniture and fabrics came from interior designer Helen Turkington
who was brought back in Phase 3 to work her magic on other parts
of the home.

Sophie found it hard to visualise the spaces but knew what she
liked as soon as she saw it, Helen explains. She wanted something
timeless rat her than trend d riven, which is exactly the way I approac h
design. The mix of check and herringbone seats and elegant coffee
table were rst teamed up in Helens shop in a room stag ing, and now
sit handsomely in Sophies room surrounded by Farrow & Ball Lig
Gray walls, Manuel Canovas curtains and cur vaceous wooden lamp
from Hicken Lighting.

Texture plays an important role in the homes timeless styling, with a
mix of fabrics right down to the contrast-piped cushions all chosen
from the same palette. If you buy a amboyant dress youll only wear
it a few times. If you buy a black dress you can dress it up, change
accessories and it doesnt date. Your house is like this and you can
live with it longer too, explains Helen, who prefers to introduce
colour through owers.
You cant rush a house either, she explains. A place always looks
better if you take your time to get it right. Ive worked with Sophie for
years and gotten to know what she likes. She now trusts me enough
to call from Lon don, for exa mple, and t ell her Ive foun d the perfect
cushion fabric. A relationship evolves with a client.

Helen is pictured here in one of her and the familys favourite rooms
the conser vatory. Unlike many sunrooms it is used year ro und thanks
to the relaxed stylin g and limes tone oor s. Its a really b right sp ace,
Sophie tells me, Even in the depths of winter its so cosy, whether
looking out at the snow or morning sun. The walls are painted in
Farrow & Ball Stony Ground, a warm neutral well paired with the
wood panelling and bookcases, which contain a secret door to the
home of ce.
A real re is a welcoming feature in the formal sitting room, which
once looked out onto the expansive gardens. When the house
was extended they decided to keep the French doors by the re,
mirroring them to capture light from the big bay windows. Theres
stronger beige and bronze tones in this room, and this is capitalised
on by using only lamps and candles rather than ceiling or spot lights.

Distressed leather chairs in rich toffee create a clubby feel in this
smaller reception room which has become something of a reading
and chess room for the family. The wooden set came from Belgium,
as did the chairs while the leather trunk, used as a table, was sourced
from SKI Interiors. The linen-effect wallpaper introduces a green tone
while staying within the natural range of the houses palette.
It would be easy to be envious of all this space, but the Smiths have ve
children and Sophie is proud of the fact that every room in the house
is well utilised. Some large homes feel like museums, and although I
dont like clutter, every room in this house is lived in and used.

Mealtimes in the Smiths are enjoyed around a large solid table that too k
months of sourcing. I couldnt nd a big enough round table anywhere,
despite trawling the internet and looking in countless furniture shop
while on holidays on the States, recalls Sophie. Eventually I found a
picture of one I liked so we had it made by Seabury in Naas. The base
is painted in Stony Ground by Farrow & Ball while the top is washed
white oak.
Placed beneath a trio of windows the table is bathed in natural light
and enjoys views over the large garden. The two smaller windows are
dressed in Roman blinds fashioned from a pretty botanical Colefax &
Fowler print, neatly connecting the views to the interior.

Adhering to the classic style choices the kitchen is a hand-painted
farmhouse affair in cool Farrow & Ball colours with teak counters.
Crafted by David Duggan it was seamlessly extended in 2009 when a
beautiful cream Aga was added. It quickly became like another family
member! jokes Sophie. The kids and dogs love it.

The sunroom enjoys wonderful light and generous doors that open
onto the leafy garden. Originally conceived as a larger room to run
the length of the h ouse its size was redu ced when S ophies daught er
asked if the plans could be changed to give her a different bedroom.
In summer time its a great space for entertaining, with access onto a
terrace w ith a large d ining table.

A fan of Helens elegant styling Sophie admits that the console table,
lamps, and mirror in this second hallway were all spotted together
in her shop. They were all paired up and looked great together so I
knew theyd work well here. The walls are painted in Harbour Gray
by Zoffany, although most of the paint throughout the house is Farrow
& Ball, most notably String, Cord and Stony Ground. (Since 2010
Helen has her own range of paints for Colortrend, which she now
uses instead.)
The space has been personalised by the addition of family photos
in silver frames, and it is these personal touches are something very
important to both women. A home should never be completed by a
designer, otherwise it will always look like a show house, Helen feels.
It should feature a collection of things that mean something to the
owner and that tell a story about the journey of their lives.

The master bedroom is a luxurious and restful space that enjoys lovely
natural light. The wallpaper features the same leafy Colefax & Fowler
pattern used in the kitchens Roman blinds. The house is surrounded
by tall trees and lush greenery so we wanted to have that lovely
botanical feel inside, Sophie explains.

Upon entering the vast home of ce accessed through the secret
bookshelf door you nd a large open plan room illuminated by two
antler-effect chandeliers with a distinctive Ralph Lauren vibe. (The
secret door was designed to keep the of ce separate from the family
space, while also avoiding the conservatory feeling like a corridor.)
Thanks to its garden access and smart storage, including a staircase
with in-built ling this room easily transforms into another reception
room for family gatherings.

The boys bedroom is tricked out in fresh Linum ticking thats been
cleverly accented by denim throws. Its a good example of Helen
Turkingtons innate understanding of txextures, and illustrates how
colour and patterns can stay timeless if handled in the right way. Its
her signature look and its been stamped rather beautifully on the
Smiths delightful Kerry home.
