We have already stepped inside Kate Moss’ home that boasts a Loubi-filled closet, a neatly organized handbag collection as well as a Marc Quinn sculpture that doubles as a hatstand. The 41 year English model, who has been renowned for the heroin chic legacy in the fashion world, has now turned her attention to interior designing. 
Kate Moss has conceptualized and designed The Barnhouse, a $3.8 million home, located at a second luxury homes development in Cotswolds retreat The Lakes, 90 minutes from London.
One of the world’s great models’ long-established love of The Cotswolds drew her to make The Lakes the site for her first ever interior design project. Kate has restyled the interiors of the five-bedroom country house, complementing its traditional elegance with a vibrant, retro-glamour vision.
The Barnhouse’s double height reception and spacious bedrooms make it ideal for a family country house living. The decor of the 650-acre woodland estate brings the outdoors inside with an earthy color palette, floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors opening onto a deck and a swimming pool.
She has worked with David Haddock a West Country craftsman, to create bespoke furniture, including a David Bowie-inspired TV cabinet complete with steel thunderbolt. The house showcases signature artwork from Damien Hirst, the Chapmans and some of the most interesting artists working today.
Kate has effortlessly blended its country roots with her contemporary styling which can be seen in form of the kitchen’s slate counter top and its log burner as well as shocking pink velvet Talisman sofas built on brass bases. Her retro, playful styling creates a sense of displaced glamour hidden amongst the woods.
The supermodel, who herself owns a house in the Cotswolds, reveals about her debut as an interior designer “John [Hitchcox – the chairman of design company YOO] and I became friends through our love for the English countryside – and the pub! When he told me about the Barnhouse in the middle of the silver birch wood I was intrigued and then excited to become part of the design team. We have created a luxurious haven in the woods, a perfect place to escape with family and friends.”
