Inspiration for a medium sized victorian formal living room in London with green walls, dark hardwood flooring, a standard fireplace, a stone fireplace surround and brown floors.

The lounge has been designed as a calming yet sophisticated, family-friendly space, equally suited to entertaining guests or relaxing together for a quiet evening with a board game. We have retained and restored original details, including the coffered ceiling and lincrusta door panels, while installing triple-glazed sash windows and insulation to improve energy performance. This space forms part of a wider retrofit of a beautiful Edwardian home in Bushey. We have worked closely with the client and their architect to balance energy efficiency with the preservation of the property’s character, while reflecting the family’s interior style.

We sanded down the original hardwood floorboards throughout the property and added a lovely rich dark stain, making it both chic and cosy. The tongue and groove panelling really adds to the cosy cottage feel of the space. We replaced the fireplace hearth with warm limestone - both fresh and light. The furniture is mostly antiques. We opened up the wall between the living room and kitchen and created an archway with double pocket doors.

This Edwardian terrace house has a double formal living space off the entrance corridor. With beautiful stained glass windows, red marble fireplaces and other heritage features, the room needed a strong colour to make the architectural details 'pop'. We chose a beautiful 'Georgian' green, which makes these rooms feel welcoming, and highlights the heritage features.
