Client wanted to use the space just off the dining area to sit and relax. I arranged for chairs to be re-upholstered with fabric available at Hogan Interiors, the wooden floor compliments the fabric creating a ward comfortable space, added to this was a rug to add comfort and minimise noise levels. Floor lamp created a beautiful space for reading or relaxing near the fire while still in the dining living areas. The shelving allowed for books, and ornaments to be displayed while the closed areas allowed for more private items to be stored.

This complete project was coordinated, supplied and installed by our team at Tulipalo. We removed the existing gas fireplace, rebuilt the chimney breast, installed a dropping ceiling, cladded the breast in a high-quality, heat-resistant material before installing units either side, ambient lighting and of course - the fire!
