Steal This Look: A Calm, Quiet Living Space in England

November 2, 2021

Thoughtful designer Cassandra Ellis has renovated a number of houses, most of which were for others via her London design studio Atelier Ellis. Her most recent project was renovated for her and her husband to live in the nature of the East Sussex Downs. The walls are painted with colors from her own paint line, and much of the furniture is of her down design too. Here we profile the key elements, both actual and imagined, that go into achieving a similar look.
