Most new builds play it safe at the windows: white sheers, grey drapes, nothing that will scare a future buyer. Then along comes a client who asks, what if the curtains were the best thing in the room? This Summerhill new build is what happens when we get to say yes to that.

Every fabric in the home is James Dunlop, and every room commits. In the lounge, Atrium sheer runs both sides of the room, a rich botanical that turns the whole space warm and enveloping, like sitting inside the pattern. Most people would hang this fabric on one window and lose their nerve. Here it wraps the room, and that's exactly why it works: repeated at scale, a bold print stops being a statement and becomes the room's atmosphere.
