Traditional Living Room with Vinyl Flooring and Limestone Flooring Ideas and Designs

Ce salon a été entièrement repensé afin d'en exploiter tout le potentiel, notamment en termes de proportions. Les petits meubles existants ont été remplacés par des éléments plus grands, mieux adaptés au volume de la pièce. Le beau canapé d'angle, avec son tissu chiné, est devenu le coeur de la vie de famille ! Le sol en vinyle bois apporte beaucoup de chaleur, les murs ont été repeints dans un blanc lumineux et un vert de gris très doux qui structure l'espace. La présence imposante du poêle a été atténuée par cette teinte brune au mur, et l'ajout d'une bibliothèque fermée et ouverte apporte du rangement et un espace d'exposition pour les souvenirs des propriétaires. La forme ronde du miroir fait écho à celle des tables basses gigognes et aux lignes courbes du fauteuil en velours vert. Les grands rideaux sur-mesure en lin blanc complètent le décor, pour une ambiance à la fois aérienne et cosy.

This intimate fireplace moment brings texture, contrast, and tradition together in one elegantly understated vignette. A cast iron wood-burning stove sits within a recessed red brick fireplace, its gothic-arched detailing adding a subtle nod to period craftsmanship. Beneath it, a matt patterned tiled hearth adds a layer of visual interest and soft ornamentation, while flanking accessories — including a brushed iron fireplace tool set and a vintage copper log bucket with brass lion-footed legs — reinforce the room’s grounded, timeless character. Above, a large circular white-framed mirror anchors the composition, offering visual symmetry and light reflection while balancing the fireplace’s darker materials. Together, these elements form a central point in the home that feels welcoming, curated, and effortlessly classic.

The main design focus for the entertainment areas of the house was to create a calm yet inviting atmosphere. Making use of items the client already had and giving them a makeover, adding lighting and window treatments that were sympathetic to the area. The client had a lot of art work which they bought with them, we chose to have a more neutral colour palette in order for the accessories to stand out and make a statement.
