Premium Living Room with Slate Flooring and a Wood Burning Stove Ideas and Designs

This is an example of a medium sized eclectic grey and white open plan living room with grey walls, slate flooring, a wood burning stove, a concrete fireplace surround, no tv, black floors, exposed beams and feature lighting.

The main living space in the barn creates a double height, space. A 'cut-out' is made in the floorboards above and leaves the beams and joists exposed.

We were approached by the client to transform their snug room into a library. The brief was to create the feeling of a fitted library with plenty of open shelving but also storage cupboards to hide things away. The worry with bookcases on all walls its that the space can look and feel cluttered and dark. We suggested using painted shelves with integrated cupboards on the lower levels as a way to bring a cohesive colour scheme and look to the room. Lower shelves are often under-utilised anyway so having cupboards instead gives flexible storage without spoiling the look of the library. The bookcases are painted in Mylands Oratory with burnished brass knobs by Armac Martin. We included lighting and the cupboards also hide the power points and data cables to maintain the low-tech emphasis in the library. The finished space feels traditional, warm and perfectly suited to the traditional house.

TV unit and entry storage combined in Beaumaris. 2-Pac painted drawer fronts incorporating Polytec Nordic oak woodmatt to flow through from kitchen to tall storage unit and floating shelves, allowing the Quantum quartz QSix+ statuario honed porcelain benchtop to be the show piece.

A beautiful sofa in a purple velvet makes such a statement in this room. The ideal place to sit in front of the fire. Bespoke joinery was added to the alcoves for a log store and additonal storage.
