New Work - Bedroom

Bedroom - Before

Bedroom - After

Here was a bedroom that was looking okay - however, we didn't like the existing drapery and overall it was looking a bit bland.
The bedroom's new ensuite is black and white so it was logical to use this colour combination and this worked well with the exisiting iron poster bed and antique furniture.
We chose a large graphic pattern for the drapery and a striped sheer for privacy and we brought down the curtain rod to above the window rather than halfway up the wall. The smaller window got a sheer roman blind.
We continue the lattice pattern with the cushions and the sofa fabric, which has a smaller lattice weave. A darker grey for the sofa was chosen to give depth and contrast.
These moves gave the bedroom the 'pop' that it needed.

New Work - Living Room and Library.

Library

New Built in Sideboard

When I first visited this house, the clients barely used the main Living area. The furniture layout was not working and the little back room attached to the Living Room (what we now call the Library) was under utilised as it was uncertain of its function.

We placed a built-in Sideboard for the TV and storage against one wall. This created a focal point for the furniture to be placed against. The back room became a 'Library' and a shelving unit with a little desk was designed for its main wall. The joinery were finished in a light colour to contrast with the muted grey walls.

Finishing touches of new drapery, re-upholstering existing furniture, new cushions and accessories has helped this room become more cohesive and the clients now retire here every night.

There's still a coffee table to be found for the centre of the room and the clients are slowly filling the shelves for the library.
