These clients’ love of colour and pattern with their eclectic mix of art and objects were key in the transformation of this ground floor extension. Taking inspiration from the tiles of the original fireplace the warm tones flow throughout from this newly opened up front reception through to the new kitchen at the rear. Bespoke joinery included more traditional detailed alcove cabinetry here. ⁠
⁠
Space planning, storage solutions and lighting design were key.⁠

✨ First Impressions Matter: The Power of a Well-Designed Entrance Hall ⁠
⁠
✨ A thoughtfully designed entrance creates a warm welcome, sparks curiosity, and reflects your style and personality. The entrance hall is the first thing people experience when they step into your space. ⁠
⁠
Looking back at some of the projects we have worked on.... functionality meets beauty: a good design balances both form and function, ensuring it’s practical (storage is king!) while still being visually appealing and always with versatile lighting. ⁠
⁠
1) Large family house - statement ceiling lighting complemented with table lamp⁠
2) Large Victorian apartment - curated console with wall lights framing the mirror⁠
3) And stylish open storage ⁠
4) Richmond Green - recessed floor lights framing archway⁠
5) Victorian home - full bootroom connected with hallway ⁠
6) Family home - knocking out unnecessary internal doorway to create an entrance⁠
7) Rear entrance - practical bespoke built -in storage⁠
8) Victorian villa - space saving narrow shoe storage ⁠

🖤 Completely bespoke! This spacious apartment is filled with unique features – some subtle and all in the detail, others bold and striking! ⁠
⁠
Lucky to have a second more relaxed sitting room that flows into the kitchen, where this striking black alcove shelving unit takes pride of place opposite the room’s entrance. ⁠
⁠
🖤 There’s a subtle thread of black running throughout the entire property – from the curtain poles, new door handles and hinges, to the slate hearths, kitchen cupboard handles, and even the trim on the blinds stretching down the hall. Every detail has been carefully considered!⁠

Good Morning Saturday!⁠
⁠
How to maximise the very very limited space in this guest room⁠ :⁠
⁠
🩵 Rehang the door so it now opens "into" the room (and get rid of those shelves above it!!)⁠
🩵 Reduce the size of the radiator so it doesn't take up useful wall space⁠
🩵 Commission bespoke joinery to maximise odd angles⁠
🩵 Add a lovely upholstered bed with storage drawers below⁠
🩵 Include reading wall lights above the bed⁠ making it so functional⁠
🩵 Replace window with a high quality double glazed wooden sash⁠
🩵 Make some bold pattern choices⁠ with fabric and art (and ditch the sill length drapes!!)⁠

Working with @taniajohnsondesign is always a dream. 💕⁠
⁠
This is the most recent collaboration … selecting all the yarns that pick out the colours of the pieces in the room. ⁠
⁠
➡️ the process of matching poms to the samples ⁠
➡️ obtaining a hand made sample⁠
➡️ rug drying ⁠
➡️ quick snap of the beautiful rug

Now installed on its new home in a beautifully grand sitting room … must get some good pics in situ!
