Lessons in Layering: At Home with a British Dealer/Decorator

Photography by Christopher Horwood

“In retrospect, I’d like our house to be like the Weasley’s” explains the British antique dealer, interior designer, and furniture maker Max Rollitt. “It’s there to welcome people in, to make them feel comfortable. That’s what home is about.” Take a look inside his own home, a small farm in Hampshire with 10 acres of land.

The view from the kitchen sink has been bisected by a row of house plants.

The main bedroom has been papered in ‘Sans Papillon’ by Pierre Frey and layered with antique textiles.
