Family Home

Bringing a house that had been converted into Health Care offices back to being a home for a young family.

It presented some challenges as all of the character had been stripped away.


​

The first impression on entering the hall was cold and unwelcoming.
By replacing the cheap laminate flooring with stunning herring bone oak laid in such a way that it draws the eye in, adding to the sense of welcome.

The Family Room
Being the most used room in the house with double doors into the kitchen, the awkward shape of the room presented a layout problem that ultimately led to a design decision to zone the room into two areas that created a sunny "hobby corner" in what would have been a dead corner.
Moving the radiator to under the window freed up a good space for a desk and introducing bright colours with separate display cabinets for each of the children's precious collections, leaves, shells and medals, has encouraged them to use this space.

I designed cabinetry to easily house the toys, games and books and shelving for family
                        

photographs etc.

The Sitting Room
A treat for these two busy parents is a space that is just for them.
I wanted them to have a cosy, ambient room to while away some well deserved time when the little ones are tucked in. 
Where velvets and natural finishes, lighting and the glow from the fire create a grown up place to enjoy.

Adding a chimney breast to create alcoves and atmosphere transforms an otherwise boring square room into a luxurious, warm one.

And so to bed......
Lots of storage for this stylish Mother was crucial but as the wardrobe was to face the bed,

I wanted to keep the height the same as the window, otherwise it would encroach on my clients as they lay down.
Keeping the palette to a soft grey, pale blue and white adds to the feeling of calm.

A 1950's house  in need of modernisation to create a contemporary place to live.
​

In the hallway I used natural finishes to set the stage for what lies ahead. The recycled cardboard lamp shades cast a warm, inviting glow over the stunning natural carpet. The choice of an off-white and black palette creates a smart and contemporary atmosphere, making this space both stylish and welcoming.

Earthy colours from the hallway blend seamlessly to create a warm and inviting space for relaxation.

The gentle curves of the bespoke sofa and chairs soften the room's rectangular shape, adding a touch of comfort.

Natural finishes in felt, wool, and tweed enhance the homely, eco-friendly atmosphere.

The bespoke cabinetry cleverly houses all the essentials for your TV area, ensuring a tidy and stylish environment.

The kitchen and dining areas are designed to enhance the feeling of spaciousness by maintaining a

cohesive color palette.

Natural finishes such as leather, wood, and linen voiles contribute to a warm and inviting atmosphere.

This harmonious blend of materials creates a perfect environment for both cooking and dining experiences.

The bedroom features dark walls that beautifully accentuate the lovely linen headboard, creating a striking focal point.

The black wall lights blend seamlessly into the backdrop, providing subtle illumination.

Inspired by the wallpaper, the addition blue and yellow accessories adds a vibrant touch, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the space. This harmonious color palette creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

Featuring smoked glass cabinetry and a marble-topped dressing table, the design of the walk in wardrobe creates an elegant atmosphere.

The rich dark brown walls enhance the warmth of the room, beautifully complementing the brown grain of the marble.
