The Gallivant, Rye – A Designers View

This boutique, former motel come hotel, situated in the picturesque dunes of Camber Sands is the perfect location for a beachy break minus the seaside arcades…

An Instagram-able dream, the interiors of the coastal Gallivant have a New York Hamptons, paired with boho Ibiza beach vibe, and it’s clear to see that every inch of space has been a considered, from local artworks to carefully selected pieces of vintage furniture.

The impeccably decorated rooms, each unique in design, all evoke the subdued, creamy hues and textures of their Hamptons theme, with playful touches including vintage radios and framed 60’s style swimsuits.

The open plan areas give a nod to the building’s motel heritage with a blend of Californian style meets British seaside chic. Muted sandy and earthy shades compliment rich green leather bar stools, washed out plastered walls, and natural beech, oak, and black ash finishes.

It was the perfect quick retreat to kick back, take in the atmosphere of considered interiors, whilst sipping on English wine, and playing traditional board games that had been left out to enjoy.

Happiness is a place...

Tash completed a redesign across our home, working with some existing furniture we wanted to keep. The house feels so cosy & warm now, & I have some lovely pieces of furniture!

We can't thank Tash enough. Her eye for design, combined with her understanding of our needs and limitations was key. The first stage of our renovations have been received so well and we look forward to working with Tash again to complete phase two

We are a short term rental management company based in Cambridge, we needed fast property staging and room planning. Styled Home Design exceeded our expectations, the photography has resulted in a very profitable launch. Our guests love the design. Natasha was so easy to work with, she translated my ideas into amazing room designs. We will continue to work together
