Design ideas for a medium sized farmhouse living room in Surrey with grey walls, slate flooring, a wood burning stove, a brick fireplace surround and grey floors.

This is an example of a farmhouse living room in Cornwall with slate flooring, a wood burning stove and a stone fireplace surround.

The thoughtful design of the interconnected spaces extends to the living room's connection with the exterior through a bench seat in the window. This strategic addition not only enhances the living room's aesthetic appeal but also fosters a tangible link to the outdoors. The bench seat becomes a cozy spot, offering a panoramic view and inviting natural light into the living space. This connection to the exterior adds a refreshing touch to the living room, creating a seamless integration between indoor and outdoor environments. Whether used as a contemplative nook or a sunny reading spot, the bench seat reinforces the idea of a home that not only embraces eclectic design but also celebrates a harmonious connection with nature.

This bespoke shelving was designed and made to fit two alcoves each side of the chimneybreast in a room used by the family as a snug, TV and games room. The use of Zebrano veneer gives a light modern and stylish touch to the room. The veneer is used to create LED lit display shelving; a two door cupboard to conceal the games consoles sits above a log store in each alcove. The veneer is also used on the skirting linking the two halves of the design.

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.

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.
