This stunning home proves that more is more in the festive season

Designer Iris Apfel once said: ‘More is more and less is a bore’ and this statement is perfectly exemplified by this stunning home in Cheshire.

Lou bought her four-bedroom late Edwardian Villa in 2022 and over the years she has brought it up to date, and made it truly her own by decorating it with the things that make her heart sing – colour, pattern, artwork, prints…. and just for Christmas – plenty of beautiful bows.

‘All the work I’ve done has been about restoration rather than renovation,’ explains Lou. ‘Sanding floors, stripping back layers of paint, reinstating coving and ceiling roses – breathing life back into the house.’
