The drawing room cabinetry was finished in Little Greene Windmill Lane and featured tongue & groove paneling around the fireplace and in the back of the shelving units. We ran the coving around the front of the cabinetry, as well as using the same skirting throughout the room to create a built-in effect.

To brighten and warm the room, the ceiling between the lower ground floor and the ground floor was removed, allowing the south-facing light to flow through the front of the house. A sculptural staircase was added to connect the living room and the hallway.

A richly layered living room that combines classic elegance with bold colour and texture to create a warm and inviting space. Two deep green velvet sofas form a balanced and symmetrical layout, offering both comfort and a strong visual statement. The seating is styled with a mix of vibrant red and patterned cushions, introducing contrast and enhancing the room’s cosy, country-inspired character. The neutral textured walls provide a calm backdrop, allowing the furniture and accessories to take centre stage, while the artwork adds a soft, artistic focal point above the sofa. A sculptural coffee table with a marble top and intricate metal base anchors the seating area, bringing in a sense of craftsmanship and visual interest. Layered lighting, including table and floor lamps, adds warmth and depth, creating a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. The combination of traditional forms, rich materials and contemporary styling results in a timeless and sophisticated living space designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort.

The client fell in love with this colour green so we decided to fully lean in and envelop the space in its cosy embrace. As with so many projects a key thing for this client was storage so we created some built-in cupboards and shelves in the existing alcoves and painted these in a complementary green satin paint to bounce the light around. There are quirky objects and art aplenty in this room, the lighting is a nod to the client’s childhood favourite author, P G Wodehouse, others are displayed with the client’s large collection of interior design books. The client felt that using sustainable options was important, so I sourced all the furniture from second hand sources. The sideboard was a bargain from Facebook Marketplace that was stripped back, paint washed and given new hardware. The footstool provides extra seating, was reupholstered to complement the scheme and doubles as a coffee table with a tray on top. The antique display cupboard came from the client’s childhood home and houses more treasured objects.
