Step inside the wildly eclectic and enchanting Wiltshire countryside home of beauty journalist Tish Weinstock and her husband, Tom Guinness. In this episode of Live with Style, Tish takes us on a fascinating house tour that defies the traditional English country aesthetic, effortlessly blending gothic romanticism with playful maximalism.
Swapping the fast-paced lifestyle of London for the idyllic hills of Wiltshire, Tish has curated a home that proves interior design shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Filled with "idiot tax" vintage finds, optical illusions, and striking art, every room tells a highly personal story. From a dining room wrapped in Iksel trompe l'oeil wallpaper reminiscent of a Napoleonic war tent, to a cozy, Coca-Cola lacquered "Situation Room" library, the house is a masterclass in fearless, rule-breaking design.
Watch as Tish shares the diverse aesthetic inspirations behind her home—ranging from the iconic blue-and-white styling of Colefax and Fowler's Roger Banks-Pye to the monastic Roman bedroom of abstract artist Cy Twombly. Discover her prized 1stDibs vintage Ralph Lauren chair, an iconic Eero Saarinen dining table, and a decidedly daring guest bedroom featuring PVC upholstery and contemporary art by Enrico David and Enzo Cucchi.
Whether you love gothic architecture, high-low design tension, or just want to see how to flawlessly execute a dark-painted room, this countryside estate is endlessly inspiring.
