We wanted the upstairs walkway between the retreat and the bedroom to have a connection to the down stairs as well as giving us a two storey void to the new main entrance to the house from the side street.

FAMILY HOME IN SURREY The architectural remodelling, fitting out and decoration of a lovely semi-detached Edwardian house in Weybridge, Surrey. We were approached by an ambitious couple who’d recently sold up and moved out of London in pursuit of a slower-paced life in Surrey. They had just bought this house and already had grand visions of transforming it into a spacious, classy family home. Architecturally, the existing house needed a complete rethink. It had lots of poky rooms with a small galley kitchen, all connected by a narrow corridor – the typical layout of a semi-detached property of its era; dated and unsuitable for modern life. MODERNIST INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE Our plan was to remove all of the internal walls – to relocate the central stairwell and to extend out at the back to create one giant open-plan living space! To maximise the impact of this on entering the house, we wanted to create an uninterrupted view from the front door, all the way to the end of the garden. Working closely with the architect, structural engineer, LPA and Building Control, we produced the technical drawings required for planning and tendering and managed both of these stages of the project. QUIRKY DESIGN FEATURES At our clients’ request, we incorporated a contemporary wall mounted wood burning stove in the dining area of the house, with external flue and dedicated log store. The staircase was an unusually simple design, with feature LED lighting, designed and built as a real labour of love (not forgetting the secret cloak room inside!) The hallway cupboards were designed with asymmetrical niches painted in different colours, backlit with LED strips as a central feature of the house. The side wall of the kitchen is broken up by three slot windows which create an architectural feel to the space.

While this new home had an architecturally striking exterior, the home’s interior fell short in terms of true functionality and overall style. The most critical element in this renovation was the kitchen and dining area, which needed careful attention to bring it to the level that suited the home and the homeowners. As a graduate of Culinary Institute of America, our client wanted a kitchen that “feels like a restaurant, with the warmth of a home kitchen,” where guests can gather over great food, great wine, and truly feel comfortable in the open concept home. Although it follows a typical chef’s galley layout, the unique design solutions and unusual materials set it apart from the typical kitchen design. Polished countertops, laminated and stainless cabinets fronts, and professional appliances are complemented by the introduction of wood, glass, and blackened metal – materials introduced in the overall design of the house. Unique features include a wall clad in walnut for dangling heavy pots and utensils; a floating, sculptural walnut countertop piece housing an herb garden; an open pantry that serves as a coffee bar and wine station; and a hanging chalkboard that hides a water heater closet and features different coffee offerings available to guests. The dining area addition, enclosed by windows, continues to vivify the organic elements and brings in ample natural light, enhancing the darker finishes and creating additional warmth.

Contemporary Hallway Ideas and Designs

Looking for contemporary hallway ideas to spruce up your entrance or hall? There are a huge range of contemporary hallway ideas for your halls and landings that can make your in-between-room spaces feel more inviting. If you need contemporary hallway storage ideas, inspiration for hallway furniture, not sure what colours to go for, or you’re considering hallway wallpaper, then you can find all your inspiration from Houzz.

Contemporary Hallway storage ideas

Your hallway or hall is the place you usually enter and exit the house, meaning it’s usually the place you want to load up or unload all your outdoor items – coats, jackets, umbrellas, hats, shoes, scarves, and often bags and keys, too. However, narrow hallways are common in a lot of UK and Irish properties so hallway storage can sometimes be hard to achieve. The type of contemporary hallway storage ideas that would suit your home will always depend on the available space and flexibility you have in your space – if feasible, built-in storage like cupboards and under-stairs storage will really help, but if not, there’s hallway furniture, hooks, racks and rails that can come to the rescue. Where space permits, furniture that doubles as storage is a great idea. A hallway storage bench, such as a monks bench, is an ideal multi-functioning solution while console tables were made for narrow hallways and provide concealed storage for clutter and a handy surface for decorative items. If you have an empty corner, a shelving unit or cabinet with cupboard compartments could use up the wasted space while providing much needed storage. Traditional hallway furniture includes coat stands, shoe storage and wall hooks, but you could save space by finding a piece that has all three combined – coat and shoe racks or ‘hall trees’ often have benches, shoe compartments and coat hooks all in one slender piece of furniture. You can obviously make use of hallway ideas such as hooks, shelves and rails, as well, for storage for coats, bags, umbrellas and even bikes where you don’t have outdoor storage.

Contemporary Hallway decorating ideas

Halls, hallways and entrance spaces are usually the first space to be seen when someone enters the house, and first impressions count, so it’s no wonder there are tons of great contemporary hallway decorating ideas to help you make this area of your house impressive. While you might feel that slim spaces like hallways and landings are hard to decorate, there are actually plenty of contemporary narrow hallway ideas that can bring life to your walls, floors and ceilings. Because of their layout, walls can be the best feature of a hallway and offer the perfect opportunity for wall art, though anything too elaborate may be wasted for lack of room to stand back and admire. Instead, a picture wall with a collection of framed photographs or prints can make a lovely feature, as can adding contemporary wall decor such as clocks, hanging plants, prints or posters for decorative details that are easy to change. Hallway wallpaper is making a big comeback as it’s another way to add lots of character, colour and style to a small space like a hall or landing. You could choose a vibrant pattern; a rich coloured wallpaper to contrast against light furniture and flooring (or vice versa); a subtle, understated hallway wallpaper to give an elegant feel; or choose a feature piece for one wall. The type of hallway wallpaper you choose should obviously depend on your style and taste, but also consider the flooring and other features – will you have a tiled floor, wooden hallway flooring, carpet or a hallway runner? And which contemporary hall colours should you go for? While ‘light and bright’ is a good rule of thumb when it comes to narrow hallway decorating ideas, rich hues such as greens, blues, reds and purples can also work as hallway ideas, and can even look stunning in larger spaces and period homes. Hallway lighting is an important tool to balance proportions and enhance brightness in a hall, and strategically-placed hallway mirrors, such as at the bottom of the staircase, will make the the space seem wider.

More contemporary hallway furniture ideas

Although contemporary hallway furniture is often for storage purposes, it doesn’t have to be. Utilising hallway corners is a great way to add dimension and cosiness to your contemporary hallway, and can make an unexpectedly welcoming area for relaxation. If yours is big enough, it can be furnished with seating such as a contemporary hallway bench, armchair, rocking chair or beanbag; you could add a contemporary small table, lamps, hallway storage boxes, ottoman or bookcase (or all of the above!) to create a comfortable nook for reading, listening to music, or just passing the time.

Contemporary Landing furniture ideas

The landing at the top of your staircase is too often a neglected but can provide valuable, flexible, additional space. The golden rule of furnishing landings is to ensure stairways aren’t impeded, but even with limited floor space this is an area that affords ample opportunity for furniture and design. Some contemporary landings may have enough room for furniture such as seating or bookshelves to create a quiet reading area, or a desk and shelving to provide a makeshift work space. Even if your landing is on the smaller side, use contemporary landing ideas such as a small contemporary hall table or stool accessorised with a table lamp, an antique bowl or flowers, which will add interest. A beautiful window seat can be the prize feature of a house, so if you have a bay window on your landing it seems a crying shame not to make the most of it. For a built-in option, seating with added storage can be installed under the window; alternatively, simply placing a contemporary bench, miniature sofa or chaise longue in the window will add charm to your landing.
