In the renovation of a two-story outbuilding on their new property on the Norfolk coast, Sarah Morton and her family transformed a pale yellow garage into what she named Blackwood, a high-end vacation retreat with a long waiting list of vacationers. The open and inviting living space is made up of layered textiles with plenty of throw pillows, chair and sofa cushions, and soft seating. Here we profile the key elements, from textiles to lighting and furniture that make up the look.
