Interior designer Tamsin Saunders refreshed a Grade II listed Arts & Crafts home in Hampshire, England for a family with a light touch, an updated traditional aesthetic. She worked with the family’s inherited antiques while sourcing others, added an AGA range, customized cabinetry, and refitted fixtures. Here, we present a list of similar sources to recreate the heritage look.
