Look Around This Re-Designed City Apartment

The arch was created as a feature – previously the space had low and unattractive doors which we decided to open up. This echoes the design in the living room where the second archway is with a set of doors. The polished plaster on the walls and ceiling was chosen to give texture to the room, and the marble for the worktop and backsplash add a bold touch among all the neutral colour.

Here, we used a bespoke raw oak TV unit, which we made the focal point of the room and which also houses books and art. Soft furnishings include a convivial seating arrangement for family gatherings. Small injections of pattern on the cushions and rug tie the scheme together, adding interest to an otherwise neutral, restful space.

Bespoke arched doors lead into the dining room, where there’s a mix of textures and materials – raw oak, velvet, alabaster pendant. The statement piece is a bespoke dining table and banquette seating designed by us.

Bedroom:

We wanted to keep this room very calm by using an off-white on the walls, ceiling and all the woodwork. Large windows let in a beautiful amount of natural light, but the pendant light is the statement piece in this room.

En-Suite:

The en-suite was dated and dark, poorly lit and in need of a total overhaul. We wanted to add texture using polished plaster on the walls and ceiling, as well as panelling on the walls. The Verde marble contrasts beautifully with the neutral tones of the walls and ceiling here, and the archway design is continued.

Here we used the full ceiling height for the wardrobes with a cornice running right the way around it. The joinery and ladder were designed and built by us, with the addition of a brass rail for the ladder to connect to. 

Beata Heuman handles were used throughout.

Pattern is celebrated here, with wallpaper chosen as the main feature, matching the curtain and cushion fabric for maximum impact. The bespoke wardrobe was designed to not be too angular in this room – we adapted it to a smooth curve. The ceiling height throughout is about three metres, so we used the maximum height possible for the wardrobe and made a bespoke ladder to reach the top cupboards.
