House Tour Patricia Rodi
In a quiet corner of the Scottish countryside, interior designer Patricia Rodi, @patriciarodi, has created a home where history, craftsmanship, and poetry come together. With roots in Sweden and France, and an eye for the timeless, Patricia invites us into her restored 19th-century house.
Patricia is a renowned interior designer and the founder of Rodi & Cécile Studio, specialising in creating atmospheric, historically grounded spaces with a contemporary point of view.
A Home Rooted in Story
Patricia lives with her partner in a restored 1860s house in the Scottish countryside. The interiors reflect a layered, European sensibility, merging antique elements with clean, restrained details. Her design approach centres on craftsmanship, patina, and timeless materials, with a palette of natural tones, collected objects, and subtle contrasts that bring depth and quiet drama.
"I gravitate toward natural tones, collected objects, and subtle contrasts that create a sense of depth and quiet drama."

Everyday Beauty
Patricia believes that beauty lives in the quietest of rituals, laying the table with linen napkins, fresh seasonal flowers, and lighting a candle on a rainy afternoon. Lighting is essential. Warm, soft sources placed low in a room can completely shift the mood.
"I believe in living with the things you love, every day, not saving them for later. A home should feel lived-in, but intentional."

Wallpaper as Atmosphere
Patricia uses wallpaper to establish mood and bring a sense of permanence to a space. She finds it especially effective in rooms that benefit from visual softness—bedrooms, hallways, and transitional areas.
With Sandberg's wallpapers, she has chosen designs that feel both timeless and expressive. Mimi stood out for its romantic scale and gentle character. It creates a quiet backdrop that feels both structured and feminine, especially when paired with antique furniture, crisp white bedding, and layered textiles in neutral tones.
" I chose Mimi for its romantic scale and softness. I love the way it brings a sense of intimacy and quiet drama to the room without overwhelming it."

Patricia's most cherished wallpapers:
Gustav – A favorite. It feels architectural yet delicate, with a rhythm that adds quiet strength to a room.
"Each of these patterns has a clarity and calmness - they contribute to the room, but never compete."
