Gareth Byrne Photography. The objectives of the client were to create light filled interior spaces in a contemporary classic, homely style and in so doing maximise the use of available space.

The living room layout used to be awkward with a small window in the corner and an inset gas fireplace and free standing furniture that looked cluttered. A media wall was created as part of the design to create a real destination. We create bespoke sofas for the space that can be apart or connected to create the ultimate movie watching experience. The new gas fire is efficient and provides added levels of cosiness. The bottom shelves also double up as handy storage whilst the shelves can be used to create a stylish display.

Design ideas for a medium sized modern enclosed living room in Cornwall with white walls, carpet, a ribbon fireplace, a plastered fireplace surround, a wall mounted tv and beige floors.

The owners of this residential property were looking to modernise and declutter a tired interior. We undertook a complete transformation of this living space providing them with a beautiful contemporary environment within which to relax and unwind. Using a natural and calming colour scheme we created a light filled space with accents of bright colours for added character. A focus of our brief for this project was the creation of much needed storage. We designed and had made unique wall-to-wall, sleek units that were designed to fit the space and house an array of media, objects and articles. The unit also incorporated specialist glazing allowing uninterrupted AV signals to all media without any unsightly electronic equipment having to be on view. The room also featured a high end, integrated surround sound and mood lighting system. This project involved structural amendments with a false chimney breast being built and existing dividing wall with double doors being removed to provide a better structure and flow to the living and dining areas. Bespoke furniture in the form of made to measure sofas and further bespoke cabinetry to compliment the focal wall-to-wall units added to this sophisticated but warm and welcoming interior.

This project involved a complete remodel of the ground floor of a detached property, transforming it into a functional and stylish space tailored for modern family living. A key feature of the renovation was the creation of a utility area in the detached garage, seamlessly connected to the house through a newly constructed link corridor, enhancing the flow and accessibility of the space. The dividing wall between the kitchen and dining room was removed, opening up the area to create a spacious and sociable environment, ideal for a young family. The addition of a modern, luxurious living room provides the perfect retreat for relaxation, offering both comfort and elegance. This thoughtful redesign maximizes usability while delivering a cohesive and contemporary aesthetic throughout.
