We recently transformed a client's 2006 Cambridgeshire home into a modern open-plan living space that strikes the perfect balance between comfort and functionality. This redesign was all about creating a space for both relaxation and entertaining, while honouring the character of the home. To achieve this, we reimagined the space and opened up the downstairs kitchen and living area. We blended modern and contemporary design elements, such as wooden panelling, creating a feature of the media wall. Custom-built smart storage solutions, designed by Laura, add a layer of practicality while maintaining the sleek aesthetic of the space.

The deep, inky-toned paint was used to wrap the whole room, creating drama and luxury. The period features from this double-fronted reception room were fully restored and the fireplace was restored. We chose a warm wood for the floor, in a herringbone pattern to add a sense of warmth and luxury. A 1920s sofa was reupholstered, alongside a vintage cocktail chair, keeping the palette consistent, and allowing the pops of colour to come from the artwork and feature lighting. The pink Murano glass chandelier is a dramatic focal point, both playful and theatrical. We introduced touches of brass to complement the colours and textures. The velvet on the furniture gives a sense of inviting comfort. Bespoke roman blinds, also in the colour palette of the space, allow lots of light into the room and do not intrude on the sofa placed against the window.

A contemporary living room design harmoniously blends clean lines with warm, inviting tones featuring a striking camel leather sofa, a further plush cream chaise sofa complimented by a bold olive green accent chair. The neutral striped rug adds subtle texture, grounding the room while enhancing its sense of openness. Note - no TV!! The space was intentionally designed without a TV in accordance with the client's request to create a more conversation-focused environment. Not forgetting thoughtfully curated accent pieces such as the abstract wall art, a sculptural floor lamp, and styling cushions that adds layers of visual interest. The space exemplifies balance: modern yet welcoming, stylish yet functional.
