47 A FAMILY HOUSE, ST GEORGE’S HILL Located on a private estate in St George’s Hill, Weybridge, opposite the famous golf course, this 8 bedroom house is comprised of a galleried grand reception hall, drawing room, study, breakfast room, family room, kitchen, pantry, utility room, boot room, club room/bar, wine store and cinema. The owners wanted a personalised space that reflected their taste and the beautiful natural surroundings. The property is a large space, so our aim was to design a scheme that would look beautiful and make the inhabitants feel good and comfortable in it. We achieved this with a combination of clean lines, natural, organic elements, sumptuous textures and artisanal pieces for a feeling of comfort, warmth and harmony within a luxurious setting. The brief from the client was to create an interior design of understated elegance; a timeless scheme with longevity that they will not tire of. The house is in the country in a beautiful location surrounded by a 1.5 acre garden and overlooking a golf course. The owners wanted us to reflect the rural elements in a sophisticated way. As such, our concept was inspired by nature. We kept the colour palette neutral and natural, layering natural materials and juxtaposing organic shapes with clean lines in order to create a scheme that would blend and complement their different tastes, as well as the stunning location.
