The first phase of this renovation of a large, unique and characterful home includes the snug, the bedrooms, the family bathroom, and converting part of the garage into a home gym.

We were engaged to provide the design and install window treatments, lighting and furniture, and decorate each room before the family moved into their new home ahead of their relocation to Wales.

The brief was to give the home a warm, cohesive colour palette and design direction which could be continued into phase two of the work.

The strong but restful colour palette mixed with clever lighting, thoughtful details and contrasting patterns and textures provides a beautiful backdrop for the family to live their lives.

We have set the tone for the second phase of this project which will update and improve the remaining spaces of this six bedroom home.
