Chello Interior DesignThis family sitting room sits at the heart of their stunning rural period home. My client already has a great eye for colour and design, so the big challenge was centred around the issue of layout, as the room has three doors so lots of traffic pathways, plus in terms of function it needed to provide the family with comfortable seating to relax in as well as a dining area. The room needed to flow and feel cocooning, but also to be refined, vibrant and have eclectic edge. The characterful brick fireplace had a wood burner installed and we agreed on a layout that zoned top third of the kitchen end of the room as dining space, with an elegant banquette bench, upholstered in Lewis & Wood Bukhara, a print inspired by an ikat coat in the V&A and loaded with scatter cushions from Oka. I felt strongly that the room would really benefit from a darker wood antique table, so I sourced a 19th century oak refectory table which adds great character and weight to the room. Colourwise we went for a new dado, original skirting and radiators in Farrow & Ball Pigeon, then lighter above the dado to ceiling in Blue Gray. These tones were echoed in the celadon of the reupholstered fabric of the large sofa that divides the room, along with the glass and brass console behind it from Neptune. The stunning Atticus tribal print gathered lampshades from Vaughan create a real focal point for the room and really support the vibe we were looking to create.
In terms of the rest of the upholstery the pair of French Louis chairs were sourced from eBay and upholstered in Rapture & Wright’s Serendip, where the generous ottoman was in Nina Campbell Dumas, lending a traditional yet energetic centrepoint. Always keen to repurpose existing pieces we also recovered the client’s pouffe in the small print of Sanderson’s Truffle and piped it in velvet from Samuel & Sons. Last but not least the smaller console, supporting Pooky’s rechargeable lamps with golden marbled shades, was resprayed in Little Greene Adventurer, a timeless plum that works so well with the claret of the existing Tori Murphy blinds.
Western Design Architects LtdThe ground floor was originally made up of a number of small, pokey, dark rooms. Removing some of the ground floor walls has opened up the interior to create a beautiful large living space suitable for modern day living.
The entire cottage is bright, warm and cosy, with many of the rooms featuring original carpentry and exposed brickwork.
Emma Kosh Interiors DESIGN PROCESS:
The configuration of the room was completely stripped out and rebuilt to accommodate the new kitchen which allowed for a complete rethink of the living area.
We added symmetry by creating a false chimney breast and recessing the TV. This involved boxing in and covering a small window to visually balance the space. We added picture lights and artwork areas to frame the space.
We added a bioethanol fire for effect but did not require a flue. This allowed us to recess the TV and soundbar in the chimney breast and create a focal point in the room. We used the tiles from the kitchen on the wall around the TV to connect the space to the kitchen and add interest.
We designed simple cabinets to match the kitchen area and used a matching worktop to tie the areas in.
The palette of feminine pinks and black were carried over from the kitchen area. We added a feature mural to zone the space and make the area feel like a living room and not just an extension of the kitchen.
Weave InteriorsBespoke alcove shelving, with closed cupboards at the bottom maximised storage in this compact living room. Wooden flooring replaced the old damaged floor in a lighter colour, with a pale green for the shelving chosen to enhance the light. The ceiling was pulled down, repaired and replaced. Edward Bulmer paint was chosen for its compatibility with an old building such as this.
Mason VerdiThis is our last completed project which is conversion of old offices into 25 residential apartments. The cost of the project was £35k per apartment and it included top of the line soundproofing of floors and walla, adding balconies, new kitchen, bathroom, plumbing, electrics, new hardwood double glazed sash windows to front and new double glazed aluminum windows at the back of the building, fire regs, building regs, plastering, flooring and a lot of other stuff.

Western Design Architects LtdThis small cottage is Grade II Listed and occupies a site on the iconic cobbled ‘Gold Hill’ opposite the Shaftesbury Abbey walls, made famous in Ridley Scott’s Hovis ‘Boy on the bike’ advert.
The existing 2.5 storey semi-detached 2 bedroom cottage appears to date from the 16th century possibly incorporating stone elements from an earlier structure, with timber framed elements over. The cottage was reconstructed several times in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries in a crude and humble manner, often using reclaimed materials resulting in a mix of structural elements and materials.
