Perched above a tidal pool on a remote Hebridean island, this traditional old farmhouse, recently restored by the model and writer turned interior designer Saffron Aldridge and her business partner Scarlett Supple, is a place of deep calm and comfort, the ideal place to retreat to from the commotion of everyday life. Built around 1905, the stone house was a ruin when Saffron came across it. The pair began with the architectural work, extending the footprint of the house and building back into the rockface behind it, adding a grass roof so the structure feels embedded in its surroundings. They also took great pains to find the right organic materials to set the interior in its environment. Wood and stone predominate, and texture is everywhere — from the thick bouclé wool curtains that line the windows, to the knobbly metal surface of the handmade bronze four-poster bed. Earthy, organic tones, drawn from the heathery, mossy terrain, complement the overall feeling of calm.‘I didn’t want crazy colours,’ Saffron explains. ‘There should be nothing to distract you from the environment outside.’
Oh, how I wish I could be there right now...
