A mix of neutral tones, natural materials and nautical touches make this tiny harbourside apartment an idyllic bolthole.
A simple colour palette of soft whites, greys and taupe combined with natural fabrics creates a relaxed, homespun style that’s perfect for this Cornish, stone-built hideaway.
A farmhouse table set in front of the bay window is the perfect spot to enjoy the views over Mousehole harbour. White painted floorboards and walls keep the look bright and enhance the sense of space.
White wooden shelves are a space-enhancing option in a small kitchen. Classic crockery, enamel saucepans and chunky glasses make for a stylish display.
An unframed vintage coastal map adds a nautical element to the traditional tongue and groove walls, while a distressed metal side table provides a lovely contrast to the crisp cotton bedlinen.
Building a window seat in a bay window is a clever way to make maximum use of space, particularly if you can incorporate storage beneath the seat.
Stone fisherman’s cottages line the seafront in the pretty fishing village of Mousehole.
The Herringbone is available as a holiday rental from Unique Home Stays
