When you have a house as beautiful and unique as this Arts & Crafts inspired gem in leafy Croydon, you need to match it with something equally unique and stylish. Having undertaken a meticulous renovation of the exterior of the home, including cleaning and re-pointing the vast expanse of brickwork, the owner felt that he needed a geometric tile pattern in colours that would complement the walls but at the same time provide a strong contrast. Too much red would have been cloying. He opted for the Kent pattern paired with the Bristol border, patterns that are entirely appropriate to the period and style of the architecture. "As much as I love the clean and simple lines of a modern home", the client said, "there is really nothing quite like the warmth and family-friendly atmosphere of a traditional home". The client is delighted with the look of his new verandah, which achieves the strong impact he was after.
