Steeped in history, Fiona embarked on a rejuvenating renovation of her 18th century Georgian cottage. With a passion for storytelling through design, Fiona's home not only perfects the art of balancing rugged charm with refined elegance, but also effortlessly reflects her English and Italian heritage.
In Fiona's sitting room, the verdant hues of English woodlands come to life, casting a tranquil spell on visitors. Rich, solid greens evoke the dappled sunlight filtering through leaves, fostering a deep connection to nature. Meanwhile, the dining room transports guests to Fiona's cherished childhood summers in Sardinia and Liguria, where terracotta and pinky orange tones pay homage to Mediterranean landscapes and family memories.
Throughout the home, Fiona's expertise as a color specialist shines, effortlessly harmonizing drama with simplicity. Every room unfolds like a chapter in a captivating novel, where art and antiques mingle to create a timeless and deeply personal atmosphere. Enjoy!

I was inspired by so much of what you've done but especially by the red sofa with the many colored cushions and by the red chairs, one of which is falling apart. I have such a chair that I suspect is covered in Fortuny fabric. The fabric is literally unraveling before my eyes, revealing the cotton beneath, but it sits proudly nevertheless in my lady's chamber. Your style is honest and reassuring. Thank you for sharing your home.

I feel we can really see the difference between a european home visit and a US one. We can mix old and new but it feels like our homes are really beeing used.

@gnarbeljo8980 2 месяца назад

I agree. I've lived so long in Europe I often cringe seeing American interiors no matter what end they are. My mother's Swedish so there's that too. I adore Italy and have spent so much time there, it's interesting to see how to bring a bit of it into northern European interiors which are so different with a whole different climate and way of life. The Brits are always interesting in their love of filling cottages with loads of objects, furniture, fabric, prints etc. It's the English way. Alot of the time in the more high end or designer owned properties, I have to assume they have professional cleaners who can be trusted with navigating vaccum cleaners (hoovers) and dusters in tight spaces with lots of sensitive andtiques. Bc it seems to me incredibly labour intense to keep the dusta at bay with a zillion surfaces to collect on. I do think they're great, likely the very best, at designing spaces that are and look very comfortable, mixing antique with new, precious with thrifty and reflect the interests of the owners. It's extremely rare that I see American homed and think, yes, I'd feel comfy and surrounded by things to spark my interest if I stayed there. They feel construed, unnatural to me, anxiously concerned with middle class values, (apoearences before content) and often just ugly. The exceptions are homes of artists and intellectuals I've seen, who aren't too concerned with "decor" and people who've built their own cabins from scratch, which can be fantastic.

@lisagorman2480 3 месяца назад

The magic here is that this homeowner knows what she loves and understands the interplay between individualism and good design. This has been my favorite episode so far, and do believe the reason is because the homeowner is not imitating something she has seen in a magazine or filling her home with things that others have told her are stylish, she has forged a very personal, yet carefully curated home. What a delight!

Her grandfathers sideboard is such an incredible heirloom. The amazing old desk with the emerald green lamps... oh my... be still my heart! I was so happy when you explained the huge credenza in the kitchen. My mind was wondering how in the heck did she get that massive piece in that tiny kitchen! Then we went upstairs! How that incredible credenza got up that narrow staircase! Impressive. Where there's a will... there's a way! And the bathroom is an experience all its own. Swimming though seaweed. Sounds like she had an amazing childhood!

Her home speaks of comfort:) and authenticity. A chair for the visiting dogs, candle holders with wax drippings, her desire for color and light, and curated vignettes in every room to remind her of places she visited, lived in or cherished, like the antiques from her grandfather. Love her kitchen - charming and functional, a great mix of styles. I really appreciated her acknowledgment that life changes are often the catalyst for changes in lifestyle/home choices and color choices. Our homes either reflect who we are or hide who we are. Nothing is more sad than an overstuffed pretentious home, no matter the style or expense involved. An intriguing life/travels and interesting careers led her to deep dive into what a home means for her and how to turn it into her personal healing, happy sanctuary - like a soft hug or welcoming embrace. Definitely one of my absolute favorite home tours - thanks!

What a kind message, Janis. Thank you for reaching out with such heart-felt words! I love that in opening my door, so many have opened theirs to me.

This was a feast for the eyes and the soul. It feels like a warm renaissance painting. And not to forget the gorgeous dress pants Fiona was wearing fit perfectly in the setting. Really well done home.

She's wearing a jumpsuit. I can't remember the designers name .

I could've listened to this video as a podcast, Fiona's voice and narrative about her home and the things in it were so fascinating and soothing. But i love the visuals too 😊

My favourite episode of Homeworthy so far. Love the style and colours. I even love the purple colour in the bedroom and I normally don't like purple walls. I realized it's just the matter of the right shade. Absolutely charming house.

It's all about context - I hope you have been inspired to experiment with colour more!

I absolutely love this cottage and how it is decorated. My home is decorated in a very similar style, I have crystals displayed and a really old Chesterfield adorned with different cushions and throws!

Oh my goodness, I love this woman so much. As soon as I saw her and heard she was British, I thought, “Oh, this is gonna be good.” Fiona, you are beautiful-love your style, love your outfit, love your eclectic mix of color, pattern and cultures but always with family, relationships and memories as the foundation. I found your artistic home so inspiring and I’m sure your friends and family feel like they’re walking inside a big hug when they’re there with you. My “aesthetic story” (I believe you called it that) is different. My home is in San Diego, CA about 7 miles from the beach, and the colors, materials, feel reflect that. But I also have inherited more traditional pieces from family members-I didn’t initially value them as much, but I’ve learned to mix it all together in a way that balances the family history (mostly from the Southeastern US) and my casual contemporary lifestyle. Also, I have five daughters, and kid art is my favorite. I just brought out my Easter decorations and have a framed work by each girl that they did when quite young. So fun to harken back to that precious and challenging time when they were all little. Bless you for sharing your home and story with us-I truly feel blessed by it. 😊

I’m so in love with Fiona’s artistic mind. I connected with her immediately. Her design and love of colors is exquisite. Her love of nature that she surrounds herself with brings such warmth and comfort indoors. Her Italian heritage is seen in every room as well. Thank you Homeworthy for bringing Fiona’s designing world to us.

This is not only a beautiful home, it's my dream sanctuary! Congratulations Fiona. What an oasis of color, light and texture. Thank you for sharing your Spirit of creating a specific ambiance that truly evokes cottage living. Oh, how I wish I had your talent of collecting and capturing warm elegance.....I imagine your friends never want to leave your dream place.....while drinking a glass of wine and listening to the crackling fire perfumed in lavender....ahh.... Someday...... excellent presentation. Thank you for sharing.....

What an enticing colour combination of green, red and apricot. Gorgeous art, collections and family treasures. What an exciting, dramatic project this home would be to demonstrate the power of LRV. Giving it a fresh, more curated take on maximalism, by simplifying the envelope. Using Fiona’s favourite colours, but with a higher LRV version of them - on both walls and woodwork, so rooms feel more peaceful and uplifting vs broken up. And the addition of more negative space, so that each piece can be appreciated. What a fascinating, passionate delight Fiona is.
