TV / Lounge
The larger reception room was repurposed as a TV / lounge
due to it’s lack of natural light. It was important to make
this room warm, welcoming and cosy especially as it had
been so under used in the past. The palette was kept to
oranges, taupes and greys, together with a walnut floor. This
progresses harmoniously from the open plan area adjacent
to it. A sizeable and comfy L shaped sofa along with an orange
accent Arne Jacobsen Egg Chair and a large textured rug
were specified. An oversized classic arc lamp finishes the
space, along with dramatic artworks that complete the room.
A full width, bespoke lacquer wall hung unit was specified,
under lit with a warm hum of LED. The 65” TV was set flush
into a bespoke stud partition, so, although large it didn’t
dominate the room.
F am ily & Dining Areas
In the family area, furnishings were kept simple but
with strong styling lines, a bright red retro styled sofa
with chaise end and a rug together with a statement
Flos spun floor lamp and bright artworks, warm up
the area. A limited palette of greys, creams, blacks and
reds added drama to the space.
Study & WC
The second reception room became a bright Study for the
couple’s two children. A bespoke wall hung unit with LED
lighting allows for ample storage and 2no. back to back
desks with classic Eames EA108 chairs in bright yellow and
turquoise Arne Jacobsen AJ table lamps complete the look,
making it an uplifting space to study.
The small downstairs WC was transformed with sleek floor
and wall tiles. On one wall a full size mirror was installed with
led strip below. New lighting and a wall hung WC and basin
completed the revitalisation of the space.

& I n te l l i ge n t Li gh tin g Sch eme
All the painted panelled joinery doors were removed and
new flush walnut veneered doors were specified, to create a
contemporary feel. Some doors were specified with glazed
panels to maximise light levels. New door furniture was
specified throughout including projection hinges to allow for
180 degree opening doors to the new dining area.
Engineered American Black walnut flooring was specified in
the TV / lounge, study and hallway and large format porcelain
tiles in the open plan areas.
The entire open plan area was underfloor heated and new
contemporary radiators installed elsewhere.
A new lighting scheme was designed and specified including
new fittings and garden lighting. An Intelligent Lighting
system was installed in order to create moods, ambience and
timed events internally and externally, controlled from wall
mounted keypads and also by iPads / iPhones.
In the dining area the Flos spun floor lamp was
repeated and a honed granite table with upholstered
slimline dining chairs were specified to inject texture
and as a contrast to the block of Flos Fuschia glass
hanging ceiling lights above.
