Premium Living Room with Dark Hardwood Flooring, Plywood Flooring and Terracotta Flooring Ideas and Designs

The owners of this beautiful Victorian house just a stone throw from Finsbury Park wanted to inject some colour and playfulness into their home. They are both vintage lovers and were keen for us to source accordingly. The couple wanted us to create a memorable space to host guests as well as beautiful and practical bedrooms for them and their daughter.

The lounge has been designed as a calming yet sophisticated, family-friendly space, equally suited to entertaining guests or relaxing together for a quiet evening with a board game. We have retained and restored original details, including the coffered ceiling and lincrusta door panels, while installing triple-glazed sash windows and insulation to improve energy performance. This space forms part of a wider retrofit of a beautiful Edwardian home in Bushey. We have worked closely with the client and their architect to balance energy efficiency with the preservation of the property’s character, while reflecting the family’s interior style.

This living space was designed to feel warm, cocooning and beautifully polished. The bespoke joinery was carefully designed around the shape of the room, making use of every corner while keeping the overall look beautifully seamless. Dark timber, softly illuminated shelving and statement marble add warmth, depth and just the right amount of drama, while layered neutrals and rich chocolate accents keep the space calm and inviting. The joinery is practical, but it doesn’t simply sit in the background — it becomes part of the room’s character. Because the best-dressed thing in your house shouldn’t just be you.

Colour drenching this room in a deep blue, including the fitted cupboards gives this lounge a sophisticated and warm feel. Adding accents of orange to brighten up the space and create a sense of fun, whilst adding a feature wall in a textures almost like a material creates a cocoon effect.

This Battersea private residence project in London involved the complete refurbishment of a 110 sqm apartment, transformed into a deeply personal and atmospheric home designed around its owner’s lifestyle. The original space, characterised by limited natural light and an angular layout, was reimagined through a holistic interior design and interior architecture approach, with the aim of creating warmth, flow and refined residential luxury. The design concept is based on layered materiality and a rich yet balanced colour palette of warm neutrals, olive, terracotta and teal accents. These tones were carefully selected to enhance the sense of warmth throughout the apartment and to counterbalance the lack of natural light, resulting in an interior that feels both intimate and elegant. Textural depth plays a central role in the project. Silk wall coverings, bespoke joinery, curated upholstery and artisanal finishes define each space, creating a sophisticated sense of tactile luxury. The living area is anchored by a hand-knotted wool and bamboo silk rug, while each bedroom has been designed with its own distinct identity, from a full-width pleated velvet headboard in the principal suite to grasscloth wall finishes in the guest bedrooms, evoking the atmosphere of a refined boutique hotel. The bathrooms were fully reconfigured into serene, spa-like environments, using large-format porcelain surfaces, black chrome sanitaryware and carefully layered ambient lighting to enhance comfort and relaxation. A key challenge of the project was the apartment’s unconventional geometry and restricted daylight. To address this, curved architectural elements were introduced throughout the design to soften transitions and improve spatial flow. In parallel, the palette and material choices were strategically developed to amplify perceived brightness while maintaining depth and warmth. The project included full interior design and interior architecture services, bespoke joinery design, FF&E design, procurement and turnkey styling, ensuring a seamless and fully managed process from concept to completion. The final result is a highly bespoke London residence where every detail has been carefully considered, from custom-designed furniture pieces to artisan wall finishes. The apartment now feels cohesive, intimate and timeless, reflecting both the personality of its owner and a refined approach to contemporary residential design.
