'The country retreat of cashmere Queen Victoria Stapleton'


Victoria Stapleton owns a clothing company called 'Brora'. Her love of cashmere and antique furniture is the main feature in her holiday home in Cumbria which she, her husband and children retreat to every August.
She began her project three years after launching her clothing company and has finally finished it thirteen years later.
When asked if colour was important to her, she replied:
'When I design a palette, I'll make up a package for dyers, with things like a faded suede shoe, a 1940s print dress and shells, and ask them to mix shades that match.' 

Her open-plan get-away is based around earthy colours for a more cosy look and she has dared to use wallpaper because she 'grew up with it'. Not a single wall is bare in this comfortable, Cumbrian cottage.
