EXCLUSIVE: Inside Catherine & Williamâs NEW HOME : Princess Catherine Kits Out Forest Lodge in âClassic Contemporaryâ Style, âLovely But Absolutely Inoffensiveâ Glow-Up Leaving Fans STUNNED đ±đđ
Inside Kate and Williamâs forever home: Princess is kitting out Forest Lodge in her preferred âclassic contemporary styleâ to create a âlovely but absolutely inoffensiveâ look
As Kate and William settle into their âforever homeâ at Forest Lodge with their three children, there will be much for them to admire in their new surroundings, including Venetian windows, marble fireplaces and a barrel-vaulted hall ceiling.
No wonder that Kate, a keen interior designer, is said to have âthoroughly enjoyedâ renovating the property, picking up much of the furnishings from high-end British brands
The eight-bedroom home is twice the size of Adelaide Cottage, where the family lived most recently, giving the royal plenty of space to put her personal touch on.
And if their previous residences are anything to go by, the home will likely be kitted out in Kateâs signature âcontemporary classicâ look â which has previously been described as âlovelyâ and yet âcompletely inoffensiveâ.
It is understood that the Princess of Wales has dressed up her new home with opulent décor from Marina Mill, a company that specialises in hand designing and screen printing fabrics, costing upwards of £100 a metre.
The mill, which Kate visited in September, has supplied dozens of royal homes, including Buckingham Palace, Clarence House and Highgrove and is world-renowned for the quality of its fabrics, as well as the fact that they still do everything by hand.
Kate has also been seen picking out a 24-seater dining table from a warehouse that specialises in antiques, indicating that the future Queen is hoping to host dinner parties at the property.
However, if Prince Harryâs memoir Spare is anything to go by, Kate and William will ensure that their dream home also encompasses all the grandeur seen in their former residences.

It is thought that Kate and William may also make structural changes to the property. They previously moved the kitchen to the centre of the property in Anmer Hall, their country residence on the Sandringham Estate.
The 328-year-old Forest Lodge â which has six bathrooms â has undergone modest internal and external renovations, including new doors and windows, the stripping out of walls, renovated ceilings and new floors. It was last renovated in 2001 at a cost of ÂŁ1.5million.
The Waleses have funded their move and refurbishment themselves and will be paying market rent to the Crown Estate.
And if their previous renovation of their apartment in Kensington Palace is anything to go by, their new surroundings will be furnished to the very highest standard.
In Spare, Harry, 41, described their Wiliam and Kateâs abode as âmagnificentâ and said their lavish home left him and his wife, Meghan, 44, feeling âembarrassedâ by their âcosyâ living quarters in the two-bedroom Nottingham Cottage.
âThe wallpaper, the ceiling trim, the walnut bookshelves filled with volumes of peaceful colours, priceless works of art. Magnificent. Like a museum.
