Residential rustic country house projects by Kit Kemp Design Studio.

“Fond memories of growing up deep in the countryside play a subliminal role in our crafted country style aesthetic. I’m always looking for pieces that tell a unique story, maybe of a person or a time in history, of a particular handcrafted technique, or even just something with a combination of colour or pattern, or a found object re-purposed in an unusual way that takes you unawares. These are the ‘design threads’ I like to weave throughout all the interiors I design.” — Kit Kemp.
