Brown, Grey Living Room Ideas and Designs

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.

This beautifully decorated living space features a large bay window draped with sheer curtains, allowing natural light to flood the space. An arched glass door with a black frame adds a sophisticated touch against the white panelled walls, leading to another stylishly decorated room.

The perfect space for living and entertaining! Kitchen, diner, lounge and formal dining all in one room with a fabulous view. The new extension bringing light to the space and framing the garden. The bespoke kitchen and furniture making this space unique to the clients for a timeless look.

Inspiration for a modern living room in London.

I worked with Siobhan Kane, of Arc & Oak Interiors, to photograph this beautiful loft style apartment in Hoxton. This apartment was filled with original features, from crittall windows and exposed brickwork, to wood flooring and even the iron doors on the bedroom. In the editing room, I kept the oranges muted, allowing the other colours to come through.

It is a luxury to have two sitting rooms, but with a house with many floors and a family it really helps! This room was designed to have a calmer area for the family to sit together and for this reason we calmed the colours down o give it a softer feel. A large rug in the room and floor to ceiling curtains really elevates the space, whilst taking the textured wallpaper around the room ensures the room feels luxurious and warm.

Set within a private heritage estate in Buckinghamshire, this project involved the full interior design of a 158 sqm (1,700 sqft) guest house. The concept was to create a refined countryside retreat that reflects the surrounding landscape and the client’s strong emotional connection to the equestrian estate. The open-plan interior is thoughtfully divided into three distinct zones: a formal lounge, a relaxed seating area, and an entertainment space. While each area has its own atmosphere and function, the overall design remains visually cohesive through a consistent material palette and carefully considered bespoke detailing. The scheme combines bespoke joinery, classical wall panelling, and a rich selection of tactile materials, including velvets, natural leathers, and aged metals. A muted palette of warm neutrals and soft greens enhances the sense of calm, grounding the interiors in the natural tones of the countryside. Subtle equestrian references are woven throughout the design, from horseshoe-inspired details to commissioned artworks featuring animal silhouettes from the estate, alongside handcrafted decorative elements inspired by the surrounding stables and farmland. The central fireplace serves as the focal point of the main lounge, which benefits from uninterrupted views across the estate and stables through large floor-to-ceiling windows, strengthening the dialogue between interior space and landscape. The studio provided a full-service approach, including interior design, space planning, bespoke joinery design, FF&E design, procurement, and turnkey styling, as well as the commissioning of custom artworks and specialist finishes. One of the key challenges was to define three distinct functional zones within a single open-plan layout while preserving visual harmony and a unified design language. The space needed to accommodate both formal entertaining and relaxed family living seamlessly. The result is a timeless countryside interior deeply rooted in its setting, balancing elegance, warmth, and functionality. The finished home supports both sophisticated entertaining and everyday family life, while celebrating the heritage and character of the Buckinghamshire estate.
