Using the same paint colour throughout, Clay II from Paint and Paper Library, helps the rooms flow from one to the other. The furnishings are also in subtle shades: pale blue sofas in the living room, blue-greys in the sun room, and creams and browns in the breakfast room. Pale oak flooring has also been used for most of the rooms downstairs. “The oak makes the house,” says Gay, “and gives it an airy feel. The view was the whole point of this house so we wanted it to prevail.” The decor is deliberately understated to this end.
