Gavin Houghton's rented cottage in Oxfordshire, shared with his photographer partner Boz Gagovski, is the most charmingly informal of the interior designer's houses, a weekend getaway filled with his own creative work and an array of enviable antique market finds. "If I owned it I’d be more precious about it,” says Gavin. “But as it was I’ve been quite playful, and I think of the house really as a playhouse.” You can see Gavin's houses in London and Tangier in the August issue of House & Garden, which is out now.

Please don't ever stop making these videos. So much inspiration from seeing how other creatives lovingly build and collect what makes their homes

@kimstahl6833 2 года назад

Those dogs adore him. I love the green walls .

@andgo1400 Год назад

"The dogs love it" and I love it too. I was smiling watching the video.

@tigermoon44 2 года назад

It looked like it was comfortable and esthetically pleasing to the eye. You can't beat a little cottage with beautiful foliage around you. Yes, it definitely had a cocoon vibe to it which is always comforting. I could hang there and be happy!

@aiai-j7i 2 года назад

What a sweet couple--I like the rhythm of their lives. A little cottage is my dream, one I cannot seem to realize for lack of money but I like to live vicariously through these videos and make my apartment and balcony garden just as cozy. Lots of vintage items, plants everywhere and objects found in nature.

The British and the Irish know how to nail the cottage style perfectly.

@nell8170 2 года назад

We certainly do!!

@neweverymorningmercy3491 2 года назад

The one unframed oil that he said was a "lucky find" there's a frame in the video where he's side by side, face same angle as painting and I would swear it was a self portrait had he not said "lucky find". This cottage is so cozy...maybe one day.

Ahhhh. So relaxed and relaxing. He said, “The dogs love it” at least twice. Says so much! I’d love to visit.

@malgozata1875 2 года назад

I am very inspired by Gavin's many talents. He paints, does pottery, makes his own pillows, etc. I am like this myself, but sometimes think that I should just focus on one thing and become better at it, instead of just enjoying different arts and crafts. I too love green color and just about everything I paint is green, all of my lamp stands, and furniture. I do love watching these videos. Here, in Miami, where I live, there is so much pressure for just one style of decor, minimalist, at this moment. So, it is so nice to see how other people in the world are creative, walking their own paths, not succumbing to the mainstream decorating style. Very inspiring and encouraging. Thank you Gavin and Boz. Thank you House and Garden.

Love the home. Love to spend the day just looking at all of the art and soaking in the coziness of the place. Always fabulous videos. I enjoy watching them over and over.

These videos are wonderful. A dreamy country cottage. I love the ceiling candle 🕯 light fitting. If everything goes bang in the night at least you have that. The pretty white patterned chair is gorgeous. But the dogs are the best in this video. So cute & well behaved.

Exactly, and I shudder when I think of people ‘decorating’ their abodes in funereal greys without a spot of colour. Pictures and thoughtful combinations enhance a home.

Funny, but I was thinking about the paint pattern by the ceiling and wanted to ask a question & right then he began talking about it. Also, I love pink & green and dogs, too. I like these guys.

Anyone know the maker of the lovely floral chintz on the button-back chair at 1:27 ? I thought it was Braquenie or maybe Warner House but it’s neither.

@als8368 Год назад

Looking for this chintz too... Not at all Braquenié (specialty in Indiennes and historical fabrics from the XIXth century)

@IMAInteriors 2 года назад

I like the house and how real it is... and as an arachnophobic living in an old house myself... can I point out that NO ONE ever talks about how having too many things is a spider magnet? it´s the only reason why I haven´t covered the house in chintz yet hahaha

@NicolesNaturals 2 года назад

Me too, I have a severe phobia of spiders and after planting several trees in my backyard I have noticed more and more throughout the years. So it's a trade-off. Do I want my gorgeous trees along with all the spiders? Or a bare, ugly backyard with very few spiders. I'll take the trees and ask my husband and kids to kill the spiders haha

@IMAInteriors 2 года назад

@@NicolesNaturals I'm so glad to hear that... I mean, not that you have spiders, but that we are real people =) I´ve always lived in apartments on really high floors (so nothing can crawl all the way up). About a year ago I moved to an old house surrounded by woods and the previous owner LOVED unkept plants, so we have bougainvilleas everywhere... they are gorgeous, but the spiders are pretty big too. Now I´m getting used to it and I even feel bad about killing them, but whenever I see one of these houses I keep thinking about their owners and their apparent no-fear of bugs hahaha

@natashadavies9569 2 года назад

I try to pare back to the objects I really like but I find the resident spiders companionable. Sometimes I name them and it's always a little sad if the cat murders one. The cat is companionable too of course.

@IMAInteriors 2 года назад

@@natashadavies9569 that’s nice to hear Natasha. Can I ask you something rather silly to someone who isn’t afraid of bugs? Do they ever try to get in your way? I hate sitting on a comfy chair only to find a quick spider coming out to check what’s going on. Have you ever been biten by one on that type of situation? Sometimes I feel like I fear them unnecessarily 🤦🏻‍♂️

@juliepalfree15 2 года назад

@@IMAInteriors Depends where your house is in the world! Here in the very middle of England, spiders don't bite - no honestly. I have always lived in old houses with lot's of all types of spiders and I like them, they keep down flys and knats and random bugs. The big ones that pop out in the evening to take a stroll I especially like. The ones that appear in the bath are a nuicence I must admit, but just catch them in the 'glass and paper' way and put them out - please don't kill them.

@als8368 Год назад

Hello, anybody who would help me to find brand and name of the fabric which upholsters this cosy armchair that Gavin Houghton calls "Gigolo" while describing his green living room? I tried quite a few different options on Internet (description like plum/flower/branches/ English/floral chintz/fabric interior/upholstering...), even google image search which didn't give me any results. I would be very grateful if you could give me the tip ;)

@Cordelia-again Год назад
