12 HALL What are the central elements? The entrance hall is a great central airy space leading you through the oversized hand carved doors in to the dining room, or the winding staircase leading you up to the the living room and terraces, or straight downstairs to the gallery and bedrooms. Materials used for coatings: The walls and brick work has been painted a dark shade of grey to give it a more moody feel. A black and white geometric pattern special made carpet was made to make a statement and lead the guests up the stairs. A theatrical bright green velvet draped curtain left to one side of the window was hung to create a dramatic effect, to play with the stair case, oversized glass chandelier and the large blue blue glass mirror. Main brands used (identify objects): Silver rose armchair: Jimmie Martin Chandelier: Eicholtz Neon tubes: Seletti Stair carpet: Starck Carpets Blue mirror: Custom made by Jimmie Martin
