We were commissioned to design a new study in a period Edwardian property in Sussex. We designed the room to maximise existing features including restoring the architraves and the timber flooring. We introduced a white painted finish to the floors and installed wall panelling to contrast the fresh wall colour. Finally we layered artwork and decorations on the shelves to finish. The owners, who are keen travellers had collected many objects on their expeditions and wanted to integrate this into the new design. As keen skiers, we sourced a vintage pair of skis to help complete the design.

The image displays a streamlined home office area that is the epitome of modern minimalism. The built-in desk and shelving unit are painted in a soft neutral tone, providing a clean and cohesive look that blends seamlessly with the room's decor. The open shelves are thoughtfully curated with a mix of books, decorative objects, and greenery, adding a personal touch and a bit of nature to the workspace. A stylish, contemporary desk lamp with a gold finish stands on the desk, offering task lighting with a touch of elegance. The simplicity of the lamp's design complements the overall minimalist aesthetic of the space. The chair at the desk is a modern design piece itself, featuring a black frame with a woven seat and backrest, adding texture and contrast to the space without sacrificing comfort or style. The choice of chair underscores the room's modern vibe and dedication to form as well as function. Underfoot, the carpet's plush texture provides comfort and warmth, anchoring the work area and contrasting with the sleek lines of the furniture. This office space is a testament to a design philosophy that values clean lines, functionality, and a calming color palette to create an environment conducive to productivity and creativity.

A small passageway leads into the guest suite also cleverly acting as the client’s home office. The bedroom was certainly generous in size but to provide a large desk area as well? The No Chintz solution was to tuck a luxury Queen size murphy bed behind a beautifully panelled wall. Viola! Space to build in a streamlined desk/shelving unit, but easily cleared and the bed pulled down from the wall when friends come to stay. The study/guest room is a pleasure: the client was sure she didn’t want a stuffy, ‘Serious’ space. Instead, the brief was to infuse it with colour and patterns.

Design by Vibe Design Group Photography by Travis De Clifford The brief to Vibe Design Group required a family home for the clients' two young children and occasional overnight guests. Timeless appeal and a flexible zoned layout were priority. As passionate cooks and entertainers, it was important that an expansive and functional kitchen be incorporated into the heart of the home.
