But what it needed was more homeowners visiting the interior design hub. The annual showhouse exhibit WOW!House is one attraction drawing people to the venue \u2013 an installation stretching the length of the building\u2019s Design Avenue, accommodating a series of rooms assigned to interior designers who have been given free rein to let their imaginations run wild. Previous participants have included Nicky Haslam and Tim Gosling \u2013 and visitors to the third edition of the showhouse, which opens on 4 June, will no doubt be expecting to be suitably impressed.I want people to hang out there \u2013 to feel at homeThis year\u2019s installation introduces 19 rooms, each one entirely different: American tastemaker Ken Fulk has created a dining room befitting \u201ca countess and her artist entourage\u201d; UK designer Sophie Ashby has conjured a sitting room with a comfortable Sunday afternoon ambience \u201cand Etta James playing on the turntable\u201d; Tol\u00f9 Adek\u00f3\u2019s bedroom suite is a decadent affair evocative of the \u201cglory days of the Orient Express\u201d; and design stalwart Katharine Pooley\u2019s tennis pavilion (one of the showhouse\u2019s simulated outdoor spaces) is an English country garden \u201cadorned with sweet-smelling roses\u201d, imagined while \u201cWimbledon is in full swing\u201d. Check out Chase Erwin\u2019s library, Lucy Hammond Giles\u2019s morning room and Anahita Rigby\u2019s study \u2013 the photographs here are an exclusive first look at their finished spaces.Designer Suzy Hoodless has kept her concept under wraps until now. Unveiling her sketch on the eve of the opening, she\u2019s taken the opportunity to use a richer palette than is typical for the designer. \u201cI wanted it to be really natural and earthy,\u201d she says. \u201cI have a house in Cornwall where we have the most amazing views of pine trees and a landscape looking out to sea, so we\u2019ve designed wallpaper in collaboration with Adam Ellis Studio, which became the starting point for the room.\u201dA palette of natural materials complement the wallpaper, including large room dividers built by [joinery specialist] Alex Findlater in rough sawn Lebanese cedar, which create a dining area and a reception space with a fireplace. \u201cThe rug was made for us by The Rug Company as a kind of carpet of flowers,\u201d says Hoodless. \u201cIt\u2019s all very liveable and tactile in a palette of warm tones.\u201d\u00a0Like most designers taking part, Hoodless hopes visitors will linger in the space. \u201cI want people to hang out there. We\u2019ve got a beautiful table from Another Country, which I hope they will sit at for a time. They should feel at home.\u201dWOW!House 2024 is open from 4 June to 4 July. \u00a325 per person or \u00a340 for two, with two-for-one \u00a325 tickets available on Saturdays<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
