Luxury living room we designed for one of our prime projects in Surrey. We used a natural colour scheme with a touch of grey to add the masculine and luxury feel to this formal living room.

Every home deserves spaces that balance elegance and relaxation. In this project, we transformed two distinct living areas into cohesive retreats that perfectly complement each other. Let’s take a closer look at how these spaces came to life. The Transformation Living Room 1 connects to the open-plan Kitchen and Dining Area though French Glass Doors, enhancing the flow of light and air. It was envisioned as a casual, warm and inviting space where all members of the home gather for daily activities, like watching TV, playing games, or relaxing together. It prioritizes comfort, durability, and functionality. The addition of custom-built shelving on either side of the fireplace is the highlight feature adding a touch of character to the room while creating a beautiful space for displaying books, decor, and keepsakes. Living Room 2 is a stand-alone room a formal space. It was designed to create an elegant and sophisticated atmosphere. It serves as a place for entertaining guests, hosting special occasions, or enjoying quiet moments in a refined setting. In both spaces the timber floors were carefully sanded, stained, and polished to ensuring a cohesive look throughout the home. Fresh paint on the walls and ceiling brightened the space, tying it seamlessly to the adjoining areas. The Result Both rooms feel like two chapters of the same story—connected in style but distinct in purpose. Together, these spaces combine practicality and beauty, offering the best of both worlds: elegance for hosting and serenity for unwinding.

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.

Richard Downer This Georgian property is in an outstanding location with open views over Dartmoor and the sea beyond. Our brief for this project was to transform the property which has seen many unsympathetic alterations over the years with a new internal layout, external renovation and interior design scheme to provide a timeless home for a young family. The property required extensive remodelling both internally and externally to create a home that our clients call their “forever home”. Our refurbishment retains and restores original features such as fireplaces and panelling while incorporating the client's personal tastes and lifestyle. More specifically a dramatic dining room, a hard working boot room and a study/DJ room were requested. The interior scheme gives a nod to the Georgian architecture while integrating the technology for today's living. Generally throughout the house a limited materials and colour palette have been applied to give our client's the timeless, refined interior scheme they desired. Granite, reclaimed slate and washed walnut floorboards make up the key materials. Less

Parete attrezzata, in colorazione blu Ottanio, con vano porta tv con apposito cestone e vetrinette laterali. Come possiamo notare, la parete attrezzata è composta da un cestone inferiormente al vano tv, molto pratico e di contenimento per vari accessori, le vetrinette composte da un vetro extrachiaro ed illuminate da fasce led poste sotto le mensole, ci regalano una senzazione di chiarezza e pulizia rendendo la nostra parete molto personalizzabile e impattante dal punto di vista estetico. Ottima per grandi spazi, ed un ottima scelta per chi vuole una soluzione semplice ma allo stesso tempo impattante, con questa colorazione aggiunge un punto di forza alla casa rendendola più caratterizzante.
