Spring Is Coming & This Charming UK Home Is Where We Want To Spend It

Looking at Lucy Whitehouse (@at_lucys_house)'s U.K. family home feels like a pep talk. Soft, complementary colors, fuzzy and plush materials, and encouraging artwork make the Wells in Somerset space welcoming in all the best ways. Step inside to see how this warm home facilitates happy memories for Lucy, her husband, and their three young children—and two guinea pigs.

Modern-rustic, light, and fuss-free.

That being said, I love spring blooms like tulips to brighten up the house after winter. Our house comes into its own in the summer when the garden comes back to life and we can open the bifold doors out onto the raised deck, which becomes our living room for the summer. The pergola also becomes our primary dining space where we barbecue for every meal possible!

Definitely our sofa. It's over 3 meters long, we can all sit on it together, and it's the comfiest piece of furniture I've ever owned.

We have a cleaner once a week who is amazing. I also keep on top of the cleaning through the week, mostly just by sweeping the wooden floors, as they get so dusty so quickly, and I love my spray mop for giving them a quick clean. Plus with three kids, I'm constantly cleaning loos!

The newest is a new Picasso exhibition print I bought from Etsy for my living room.

In terms of smells, I love candles and so always have one lit if I'm at home. My favorite brand is Diptyque. Or it's my husband's cooking: He's usually got something delicious simmering on the stove, as he loves to cook. 

Definitely my husband's grandfather's military medals. My husband was also in the military, and so we proudly display the medals on our wall as a humbling reminder.

Home for me means being super cozy and comfortable with my family. Cuddles on the sofa in our pajamas with my kids all under the same blanket watching a movie is my happiest spot on earth.
