The living room is a room we really wanted introduce lots of plush seating options for all the family, from the two sofas to the matching boucle armchair and footstool. Texture and colour played a key role in here, creating insterest and depth to the heart of the home.

Idéer för att renovera ett mellanstort 60 tals separat vardagsrum, med vita väggar, heltäckningsmatta, en standard öppen spis och en spiselkrans i sten

Have you ever seen such a beautiful living space? This project bursts with character, featuring a striking palette that brings energy and warmth to the space. It’s such an engaging and uplifting atmosphere! Creating a beautifully cohesive and functional living space with our clients in Hertfordshire was a pleasure. The design was centred around the style of home and our client’s bubbly personality to ensure a balance of elegance and warmth which is both a stylish and inviting retreat. The paint choice was from the colours of the eclectic wallpaper which is simply divine. Potters Pink came from the base of the wallpaper and Rhubarb is found in the flowers. The gorgeous wallpaper led to the rest of the furniture being vibrant and picked from the colours within. We concentrated and designed the space to be centred on the middle part, crafting a faux chimney breast, hand-painted in ‘Potters Pink’, where the integrated New Forest fireplace provided a striking focal point. We then built outwards into the space and framed this feature with our lay-in shaker cabinetry on either side, hand-painted in the rich, earthy tones of ‘Rhubarb’, complemented by floating shelves with integrated lighting – perfect for displaying treasured items while adding soft illumination to the whole space. The Corston Bayswater handles in antique brass provide the perfect finishing touch, enhancing the classic-meets-contemporary aesthetic. The surrounding walls, including a beautifully curved bay window, have been completed with our custom wall panelling, finished in ‘Rhubarb’. We teamed up with Lewcon Audio Visual to install the TV. This meant a seamless TV installation that ensured technology blended effortlessly into the design. This beautiful living room project is a testament to the beauty of handcrafted details and thoughtful designs that match our client’s bubbly personality and eclectic style.

Beautiful touches of artistry have been applied to each interior pocket – from moody greens set against emerald tiling to happy collisions of primary colours.

A cosy TV room combining rich deep blue walls with a contrasting light grey Chaise Longue sofa. Using pops of bright colours from the soft furnishing to bring vibrance to the space and to compliment the contrasts of light and dark tones.

Living room of a three-bed show home completed on behalf of a large, national housing association in Headcorn, Kent. The show home was designed, delivered and installed by ourselves on a purchase basis. We opted for a contemporary but modern Scandinavian design that was perfectly suited to the client's target buyer.

A hand painted mural wall art of a Magnolia Grandiflora tree painted in the family room of a Hampshire country house. We were lucky with the beautiful 200 yr old beams, which the client and I incorporated into the mural in the design. I also considered the family dogs when sketching out the tree and gave them a shady bower to frame their bed.

A challenging room to decorate; this long narrow lounge had been foreshortened by a dark sofa part way along, which wasted space at one end. The brief was to make the room feel brighter, more welcoming, inclusive and open so as to enjoy the view into the garden. The owners also wished to retain their curtains and have a slight wow input. ​ To brighten the room Farrow and Ball Slipper Satin was applied to the walls and ceiling, the coving and rose work was picked out in white and a lighter 4 seater sofa plus reclining chair was sourced from Sofology. It was decided to upgrade a green leather stressless chair by having it professionally stained a burnt orange by the Furniture clinic and this upcycling was a huge success. ​ A bespoke chandelier was designed with the client then commissioned from Cotterell and Rocke and gold wall lights cast gentle shadows over surfaces. The wow element was incorporated via new coving with hidden coloured lighting which would shine across the ceiling. A very soft orange offsets the furniture, but this can be changed by remote control to any colour of the rainbow according to mood. ​ Some small inherited pieces of furniture were upgraded with Annie Sloane paint and the furniture placed so as to create a peaceful reading area facing the garden, where the stressless chair could be turned to join the main body of the room if necessary. A glass coffee table was used to make the room feel more open and soft burnt orange accent tones were picked up from the curtains to add depth and interest.

Style - Industrial Chic The living room reflects the scheme from the kitchen as it is seen through the newly installed large glass frame. Using base tones of grey, splashes of accent colours orange, turquoise and lime green were brought in to add vigour and oomph. The industrial elements were introduced using geometric & circular shapes and mixing hard & soft materials: black metal, grey tinted glass and leather.
