Retrouvius created the calming interiors using recycled hand-dyed fabrics and reclaimed building materials while retaining the textures of their natural state.

The owner of this imposing 19^th century villa in West London, had a very specific colour brief - for a strict palette of whites and neutrals, with only the purest of white tones. Rose Uniacke's challenge within this restrained brief was to create a balance that made the spaces feel warm and welcoming whilst keeping a calm white focus which wasn’t too cool or chilly. Rose combined shades of white with carefully chosen neutrals, adding texture, then darker tones to enrich the scheme. The clean lines and shades of white impart a lean modern energy and freshness, providing a neutral context for a sculptural mix of carefully curated contemporary and antique pieces and artworks that balance and enhance the scheme, lending it both strength and warmness. The result is a masterclass in the power of white - a period interior, approached in a fresh and contemporary way.
