Phase one of this renovation included decoration, and the design and installation of window treatments, lighting and furniture before the family relocated to Wales. The brief was to give this unique home a warm, cohesive colour palette and design direction which could be built upon. During phase two, we converted a garage into a gym, renovated the main en suite, and designed and installed many bespoke pieces, including a showstopping chandelier for the double height hallway.

A mixture of geometric and floral patterns in the soft furnishings add interest, texture and colour to this characterful family home, and the bespoke American walnut headboard creates the perfect focal point for the main bedroom suite.

"The house is absolutely beautiful! It's been like a dream and I dread to think what this would have been like without your help. Let me say again how pleased we are with the house, the furniture and the colour schemes are so warm and elegant. We’ve been dreaming of this day for a long time and are beyond excited!"

The strong but restful colour palette mixed with clever lighting, thoughtful details and unique bespoke pieces create a livable and functional home for our clients, which supports them with their day to day living - the definition of relaxed luxury. We have set the tone for the third phase of this project which will add a new outdoor kitchen dining area and a bespoke garden room to this six bedroom home.
