Design notes

Classic design favours balance and proportion. Look for symmetry from the back door, traditional materials — stone, brick, terracotta, painted timber — furnishings that belong to the house rather than the season, and planting with structure: hedges, borders and trees placed to frame the view.

What to look for

  • Depth — eight feet for chairs, ten or more for a table or a swing
  • How the steps and railings meet the walk and the yard
  • Ceiling: height, material and whether a fan or lights are built in
