Princess Kate plots unique interiors for country retreat

Kate Middleton is in full planning mode as she and Prince William prepare for their upcoming move to Forest Lodge. 

With renovations already underway inside and out, the couple’s new family home is set to be one of their most exciting projects yet. 

While official details of the redesign remain under wraps, there’s one big clue about the look and feel we might expect, Kate’s trusted partnership with interior designer Ben Pentreath.

The Princess of Wales has turned to him on several occasions, from shaping the interiors of Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace to transforming the couple’s Norfolk retreat, Anmer Hall. 

Known for his impressive roster of celebrity clients, including Liv Tyler and Sarah Jessica Parker, Ben has earned a reputation for marrying heritage design with modern flair.

According to his firm, Ben Pentreath Ltd, the studio is celebrated for its “distinctive and playful style,” drawing inspiration from 18th and 19th century English interiors while embracing the energy of the 1960s and 70s. 

At Anmer Hall, the Princess of Wales has worked closely the designer to strike the perfect balance between country elegance and relaxed family living. 

The dining room, in particular, captures this spirit. Bright and airy, the space is filled with eclectic details that give it a distinctive personality.
