Inside Gavin Houghton's tiny ‘playhouse’ of a cottage in Oxfordshire | Design Notes

- Gavin Houghton's rented cottage in Oxfordshire, shared with his photographer partner Boz Gagovski, is the most charmingly informal of the interior designer's houses, a weekend getaway filled with his own creative work and an array of enviable antique market finds. "If I owned it I’d be more precious about it,” says Gavin. “But as it was I’ve been quite playful, and I think of the house really as a playhouse.” You can see Gavin's houses in London and Tangier in the August issue of House & Garden, which is out now.

Please don't ever stop making these videos. So much inspiration from seeing how other creatives lovingly build and collect what makes their homes
Those dogs adore him. I love the green walls .
"The dogs love it" and I love it too. I was smiling watching the video.
It looked like it was comfortable and esthetically pleasing to the eye. You can't beat a little cottage with beautiful foliage around you. Yes, it definitely had a cocoon vibe to it which is always comforting. I could hang there and be happy!
What a sweet couple--I like the rhythm of their lives. A little cottage is my dream, one I cannot seem to realize for lack of money but I like to live vicariously through these videos and make my apartment and balcony garden just as cozy. Lots of vintage items, plants everywhere and objects found in nature.
I am very inspired by Gavin's many talents. He paints, does pottery, makes his own pillows, etc. I am like this myself, but sometimes think that I should just focus on one thing and become better at it, instead of just enjoying different arts and crafts. I too love green color and just about everything I paint is green, all of my lamp stands, and furniture. I do love watching these videos. Here, in Miami, where I live, there is so much pressure for just one style of decor, minimalist, at this moment. So, it is so nice to see how other people in the world are creative, walking their own paths, not succumbing to the mainstream decorating style. Very inspiring and encouraging. Thank you Gavin and Boz. Thank you House and Garden.
The British and the Irish know how to nail the cottage style perfectly.
We certainly do!!
The mix of color and patterns is beautiful! It all goes well together, what a beautiful cottage!
Ahhhh. So relaxed and relaxing. He said, “The dogs love it” at least twice. Says so much! I’d love to visit.
The one unframed oil that he said was a "lucky find" there's a frame in the video where he's side by side, face same angle as painting and I would swear it was a self portrait had he not said "lucky find". This cottage is so cozy...maybe one day.
Agreed - it’s his double!
I thought the same! 😀
Love, love, love! Now, I want to take a pottery class and paint my walls green!
Merci, Gavin (and partner)! Enchanting...
Such a warm, welcoming home. The adorable pups lounging around made me smile! 😊
What a glorious cottage, absolutely love the way they have furnished and decorated it....the bearded guy in the painting reminds me of my husband! TFS
Beautiful! And the dogs are too cute.
He has a great disposition and so humble. Lovely home. Thank you.
I love English cottage living. This visit is very inspiring for ideas. Every cottage needs those adorable doggies.too. Thank you so much for the visit with Gavin and Boz. This video is getting multiple viewings from me.
OK, those are the calmest Jack Russells I've ever seen
Love everything in the Kermit room!
Love, love &n love the acid green wall, especially with pink. The roses in the garden add to the wonderful ambience of this cottage.
what a dream cottage with a gem of an outdoor space! I'm greener than those walls with envy....LOL!
Love how he displays all his own art.
I could see the Bloomsbury set living there! And myself actually, it's beautiful! I would love to see your other homes, and how they are decorated. Please House and Gardens........future episodes........
Well, Vanessa, you have the perfect name to be living there! 😊
Oh yes!
Love the home. Love to spend the day just looking at all of the art and soaking in the coziness of the place. Always fabulous videos. I enjoy watching them over and over.
This is what I want, Bloomsbury Charleston farmhouse all the way! Its my ultimate inspiration for my own home!
Greetings from Pennsylvania, USA. I really like the way they have brought things into the home that mean something to them personally rather than just "museum" pieces. Beautiful.
So charming 🥰🍀 and excellent painter!
Love all the self made pottery, and paintings. What a house. You wouldn't be in House & Garden if your house was not exciting.
@3:17 " in my work i'm known for using green a lot"
"dogs listening attentively* - love this cottage!
OK, now I need to see London and Morocco! Stat!
Really nice atmosphere there, I do love the casual elegance, very soft and personal.
Nice to see peaceful people and their pets in such a wonderful environnement full of creativity.
I love your cottage, so British. Thanks to share.
What lovely talented people, and sweet dogs, thank you for letting us inside your home
Gorgeous cottage, very little l would change and that is saying a lot! Would move in right away.
I loooove these videos! Love seeing traditional british designer homes
I love your style. The garden is lovely. Oh my, I love your dogs. I also have two Jack Russells, my babies.💙
Thank you so very much for sharing your cottage. Hello from the US . Pennsylvania to be exact. Your are welcome any time.
Dreamy cottage, and those pups...
He is truly inspiring, love his view on pattern.
These videos are wonderful. A dreamy country cottage. I love the ceiling candle 🕯 light fitting. If everything goes bang in the night at least you have that. The pretty white patterned chair is gorgeous. But the dogs are the best in this video. So cute & well behaved.
I live near Chipping Norton and NEED to know the name of your fav shop 😁 Your home is simply beautiful, you must be feel very peaceful and settled there.
Wow! Talk about appreciating a great video! This presentation was phenomenal! Gavin was so relaxed & honest, I love how he chooses to decorate this cottage! I can’t even imagine what his other homes are like! It would be awesome to see his Moroccan home!! Thank you for this fantastic video!!
I love the green walls! 😍
Amazing sanctuary! Amazing creator!
Hi Gavin,
Your art inspired me so much. You gave me ideas and happiness. Continue to do more videos please 🙏💚
Timeless I think very quaint

I just love homes in the English countryside
I would LOVE to have some of his art!!! Those plates are AMAZING!

Wonderful, everything
Love the candle lighting at 3:06
Wow. Talk about living your best life. 💕
This was a sheer delight 😊 😍
Charming, love it!
Love this !! My style completely!
Exactly, and I shudder when I think of people ‘decorating’ their abodes in funereal greys without a spot of colour. Pictures and thoughtful combinations enhance a home.
I love you decor , you house is gorgeous , enjoy watching you video , thank you very much to sharing🥰
Perfection ❣️
I LOVE these!!
Gorgeous man🫢
I think your paintings are quite good!
So beautiful so amazing
What a delight!
Totally gorgeous 💚💕
Heaven. And greens are my favorite
God how gorgeous 😍
8:05 lovely place to sit and enjoy anything
Cool sketching! Love the garden area. I love color, but that green isn't for everyone!
Great plates
...love it ...
Your a talented guy, the cottage in lovely…😊
A happy couple!
My favorite element was the Iranian qalamkar woodblock print textiles. On the table and the back of the sofa. 😁
I want to see their Moroccan home too!
Wonderful house. What is the name of the pink rose in your garden? It is really pretty.
Does anyone happen to know the name of the green paint? It's absolutely fantastic
Houghton's plates reminded me of jean Cocteau's work. Elsewhere very much Duncan Grant.
Small persnickety edit to description: "Gavin Houghton's rented cottage in Oxfordshire, shared with his partner photographer Boz Gagovski..."
Anyone know the maker of the lovely floral chintz on the button-back chair at 1:27 ? I thought it was Braquenie or maybe Warner House but it’s neither.
Looking for this chintz too... Not at all Braquenié (specialty in Indiennes and historical fabrics from the XIXth century)
‘A tiny playhouse of a cottage’ - hilarious. It’s a very reasonably sized house for the vast majority of people.
Fab
Hello, anybody who would help me to find brand and name of the fabric which upholsters this cosy armchair that Gavin Houghton calls "Gigolo" while describing his green living room? I tried quite a few different options on Internet (description like plum/flower/branches/ English/floral chintz/fabric interior/upholstering...), even google image search which didn't give me any results. I would be very grateful if you could give me the tip ;)
I like the house and how real it is... and as an arachnophobic living in an old house myself... can I point out that NO ONE ever talks about how having too many things is a spider magnet? it´s the only reason why I haven´t covered the house in chintz yet hahaha
Me too, I have a severe phobia of spiders and after planting several trees in my backyard I have noticed more and more throughout the years. So it's a trade-off. Do I want my gorgeous trees along with all the spiders? Or a bare, ugly backyard with very few spiders. I'll take the trees and ask my husband and kids to kill the spiders haha
@@NicolesNaturals I'm so glad to hear that... I mean, not that you have spiders, but that we are real people =)
I´ve always lived in apartments on really high floors (so nothing can crawl all the way up). About a year ago I moved to an old house surrounded by woods and the previous owner LOVED unkept plants, so we have bougainvilleas everywhere... they are gorgeous, but the spiders are pretty big too. Now I´m getting used to it and I even feel bad about killing them, but whenever I see one of these houses I keep thinking about their owners and their apparent no-fear of bugs hahaha
I try to pare back to the objects I really like but I find the resident spiders companionable. Sometimes I name them and it's always a little sad if the cat murders one. The cat is companionable too of course.
@@natashadavies9569 that’s nice to hear Natasha. Can I ask you something rather silly to someone who isn’t afraid of bugs? Do they ever try to get in your way? I hate sitting on a comfy chair only to find a quick spider coming out to check what’s going on. Have you ever been biten by one on that type of situation? Sometimes I feel like I fear them unnecessarily 🤦🏻♂️
@@IMAInteriors Depends where your house is in the world! Here in the very middle of England, spiders don't bite - no honestly. I have always lived in old houses with lot's of all types of spiders and I like them, they keep down flys and knats and random bugs. The big ones that pop out in the evening to take a stroll I especially like. The ones that appear in the bath are a nuicence I must admit, but just catch them in the 'glass and paper' way and put them out - please don't kill them.
i love how the white dog thinks hes talking to him because he cant see the people behind the camera...xx
you can almost see him thinking ...wow this guy talks to himself about himself all the ruddy time.
I love the videos but hate the intrusive music that drowns the interviewee out.
Will pay you for those plates! PLEASE!!!
Does anyone happen to know what the name of the paint color in Gavin’s bedroom is?
It’s gorgeous isn’t it?!!! 😍😍😍
The gigol armchair is to die for
8:52 jam packed full of cliches, almost like a SNL sketch.
Awesome.
Ps.
By the way, I love the two dog children.
Of course he has a Jack Russell .
