Enclosed Living Room with a Home Bar Ideas and Designs

A full re-design and style of a Georgian stone house in Cornwall. In this snug room we added Feature panelling in white to complement the media unit. We selected fabrics for cushions and curtains to go with the existing blue sofa, and decided to give the ceiling a dark blue to contrast with the white walls. The drinks cabinet is a light-up feature of the room which also doubles as a home bar for parties.

We were briefed to carry out an interior design and specification proposal so that the client could implement the work themselves. The goal was to modernise this space with a bold colour scheme, come up with an alternative solution for the fireplace to make it less imposing, and create a social hub for entertaining friends and family with added seating and storage. The space needed to function for lots of different purposes such as watching the football with friends, a space that was safe enough for their baby to play and store toys, with finishes that are durable enough for family life. The room design included an Ikea hack drinks cabinet which was customised with a lick of paint and new feet, seating for up to seven people and extra storage for their babies toys to be hidden from sight.

Two Victorian terrace reception rooms have been knocked into one, each has been given its own clearly defined style and function, but together they make a strong style statement. Colours are central to these rooms, with strong teals offset by blush pinks, and they are finished off with antiqued mirrored tiles and brass and gold accents.

In creating a colourful living room/bar area, I have infused the space with vibrancy and personality, setting the stage for lively gatherings and relaxation. The walls are painted in a palette of bold hues creating a striking backdrop that energises the room. Colourful artwork adorns the walls, adding pops of colour and visual interest throughout the space. A comfortable and inviting seating area features a mix of colourful sofas and chairs, complemented by an array of throw pillows. Overall the creation of a colourful living room/bar area is a celebration of bold design choices and a reflection of your vibrant personality and style.

This carefully curated living room is the epitome of modern luxury and comfort. It is anchored by a two-piece round coffee table, a modern centrepiece that adds a touch of sculptural sophistication. The bespoke alcove cabinetry features dark wood tones with brass inlays, creating a striking focal point that combines practical storage with display shelving. Full-length textured fabric curtains frame the windows, adding a soft and inviting touch while allowing natural light to filter through. The ivory sofas provide a comfortable seating, complemented by two Italian teal swivel accent chairs that add a dynamic element to the room. Bespoke joinery takes centre stage with a home bar featuring charcoal stained woodgrain and a brass mesh backdrop. This unique addition not only serves as a functional space for entertaining but also introduces a touch of glamour and sophistication to the living area. The brushed smoked oak flooring provides a luxurious foundation, adding warmth and texture to the space. A large Floor Story rug in opulent tones grounds the seating area, creating a plush and inviting space that ties together the colour palette of teal and taupe. The colour scheme is artfully integrated throughout the room, from the bespoke cabinetry to the furnishings and accessories, creating a cohesive and harmonious atmosphere and a sense of tranquility and sophistication to the living space.

The experience was designed to begin as residents approach the development, we were asked to evoke the Art Deco history of local Paddington Station which starts with a contrast chevron patterned floor leading residents through the entrance. This architectural statement becomes a bold focal point, complementing the scale of the lobbies double height spaces. Brass metal work is layered throughout the space, adding touches of luxury, en-keeping with the development. This starts on entry, announcing ‘Paddington Exchange’ inset within the floor. Subtle and contemporary vertical polished plaster detailing also accentuates the double-height arrival points . A series of black and bronze pendant lights sit in a crossed pattern to mirror the playful flooring. The central concierge desk has curves referencing Art Deco architecture, as well as elements of train and automobile design. Completed at HLM Architects

L’alloggio di 100 mq, è situato all’interno di una casa a corte piemontese di recente ristrutturazione in centro a Bra con molto spazio all’aperto esposto a sud. Il lungo terrazzo che prosegue scendendo di qualche scalino per terminare con il tetto giardino che fa da copertura al box auto sottostante, dona uno spazio verde aggiuntivo di ben 90 mq sempre gradito quando si vive in città. Dopo il trasloco i committenti si sono resi conto che anche all’interno c’era ancora molto spazio da arredare e che con un progetto su misura ben studiato, avrebbero ottenuto quel tocco in più che cercavano. Unica richiesta: utilizzare come palette i nuovi colori della linea FENIX creata da Arpa Industriale. Il FENIX è un materiale di nuova generazione composto da resine acriliche e successivamente indurite dove i graffi superficiali possono essere rigenerati passandoci sopra un comune ferro da stiro caldo! Dall'entrata si accede direttamente sullo spazioso living di 32 mq. All’entrata troviamo guardaroba e specchiera con cassetto su misura in FENIX colore Rosso Namib. Il cassetto si può usare come pratico scrittoio grazie al pouf sottostante. La zona relax è un punto di snodo tra due ambienti importanti, ingresso e sala e per questo abbiamo scelto Ditre Italia Elliot, un divano bifacciale su cui ci si può sedere da entrambi i lati, pratico e bello da guardare! Come punti luce, l’intramontabile lampada da terra Twiggy di Foscarini perfetta per leggere sul divano e per dare un pizzico di ironia la Monkey lamp di Seletti. Di fronte al divano, abbiamo studiato la Wall System su misura in FENIX in blu Shaba e verde Kitami. È un sistema contenitivo eccezionalmente versatile: dallo spazio necessario per la smart tv ad una serie di elementi che estendono la funzionalità della libreria, come ante battenti, cassettoni, vani a giorno e mensole utilizzate anche per creare un angolo bar alternativo. Il tavolo da pranzo Kristalia Sushi piano in FENIX scelto per l’estrema facilità di allungarsi e ospitare numerosi commensali. Attorno al tavolo le sedie Pointhouse di Tata Young 4 in una bella sfumatura di rosso che viene ripresa nel nello zoccolo e alla base delle tende bilancia i toni freddi della wall system. E non passa certo inosservata la lampada a sospensione Petite Friture Vertigo sopra il tavolo: un pezzo iconico del design esposto anche al MOMA, che arreda con eleganza e non appesantisce. Il fil rouge continua in cucina con i moduli in FENIX colore azzurro Naxos, che creano sinergia con i nuovi mobili del soggiorno. Nonostante la una superficie ridotta, di circa 19 mq, la cucina è super contenitiva e si può anche fare colazione grazie a un tavolino a scomparsa molto versatile.
