Red, Brown, Blue, Black, Turquoise 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.

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.

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.

Design ideas for a farmhouse living room in Kent with white walls, medium hardwood flooring, brown floors and exposed beams.

The living room is warm and inviting, anchored by two sofas arranged in an L-shape for a sociable layout. A sculptural glass coffee table adds elegance while soft textures enhance comfort. Natural light streams through large windows, complementing the deep wall tones, curated artwork, and greenery to create a balanced, contemporary atmosphere.

This study room was created by removing a wall and replacing it with Crittall style folding glass doors opening up the space making it feel much larger. We built wall to wall, floor to ceiling bookcases for the client's many books and created a faux fireplace painted to look like black marble. A large white silk lamp shade hangs from the ceiling. A Gallery wall of art work and a mid century burnt orange wingback chair complete the room.
