A Tour of Gazebo

The Treillage Room

The sun room is the main entrance to Gazebo, and is also called The Treillage room thanks to the beautiful treillage detailing that line the walls.

  • Growing up in New Zealand, verandas and sunrooms were commonplace, and I knew I wanted to include one at Gazebo.
  • The entire room is lined in beautifully ornate treillage, which makes a spectacular statement as you walk in.
  • The curtains are in 'Bowood' chintz by Colefax and Fowler.
  • A round table from Maison Jansen greets you as you enter the sun room, and is always filled with potted plants or flowers.
  • Wicker armchairs allow you to take advantage of the sea view beyond the French windows, and I like to read here in the mornings.
  • A central ceiling skylight provides a beautiful shaft of light right into the centre of the room, and is emphasised with a suspended Moroccan lantern.
  • A pair of columns line the partition between the sun room and the drawing room to differentiate between the two spaces.
