Contemporary Living Room Ideas and Designs

Verdant greenery pops against warm hints of brass and burnt orange within our design - the aged iron Roark chandelier by Ralph Lauren adds chic contemporary charisma, whilst the luxurious Eichholtz Raffles sofa adds a touch of glamour.

Show-stopping limited edition artworks from Christopher Guy are an essential feature both within the living room, and the rest of the project as a whole; the triplex Rat Pack image is carved from burnished silver, and creates a truly unique focus for the room.

Set in the Somerset hills, this beautiful old barn hadn’t been updated since its conversion back in the ’90s and the owners were keen to give it a refresh and bring it in line with 21st century living.
We were tasked with creating a fresh, contemporary home filled with natural light and a space that was super stylish but also inviting and practical enough to stand up to the day-to-day needs of family life.
The project covered everything from interior design to spatial planning, bathroom design, lighting, colour schemes, bespoke cabinetry, window treatments right down to furniture and accessories.
We re-developed an annexe to create a decadent master suite; a grown-up haven for relaxation, with its own private sitting room, dressing room and bathroom.
A formal drawing room and double-height reception hall were added, for that real sense of grandeur every time you walk in and we accentuated the original exposed beam detailing with hidden state-of-the-art lighting.
Concealed doors were used to make the space as versatile as possible – meaning the ground floor can adapt from one large open-plan room, perfect for entertaining, to more intimate, private spaces in a flash. This flexibility also allows the layout to evolve with the family.
The new-look barn is a modern light-filled wonder meets characterful country home and the serene space is one the family now want to spend lots of time in.

A whole wall of glass doors at Leinster Mews can be folded back to merge garden and living space together.
This is a two storey open plan void space forming a large living room with contemporary leather furniture that is overlooked by an upper level dining space. this is separated by a cantilevered balcony edged with a glass and stainless steel balustrade to maintain the open space and link between the two.
