Rachel Moore Design LtdWe were approached by our client to design this barn conversion in Byley, Cheshire. It had been renovated by a private property developer and at the time of handover our client was keen to then create a home.
Our client was a business man with little time available, he was keen for RMD to design and manage the whole process. We designed a scheme that was impressive yet welcoming and homely, one that whilst having a contemporary edge still worked in harmony with its rural surrounding.
We suggested painting the woodwork throughout the property in a soft warm grey this was to replaced the existing harsh yellow oak and pine finishes throughout.
In the sitting room we also took out the storage cupboards and clad the whole TV wall with an air slate to add a contemporary yet natural feel. This not only unified the space but also created a stunning focal point that differed from a media wall.
In the master bedroom we used a stunning wood veneer wall covering which reflected beautiful soft teal and grey tones. A floor to ceiling fluted panel was installed behind the bed to create an impressive focal point.
In the kitchen and family room we used a dark navy / grey wallcovering on the central TV wall to echo the kitchen colour. An inviting mix of linens, bronze, leather, soft woods and brass elements created a layered palette of colour and texture.
We custom designed many elements throughout the project. This included the wrap around shelving unit in the family Kitchen. This added interest when looking across from the kitchen.
As the house is open plan when the barn style doors are back, we were mindful of the colour palette and style working across all the rooms on the first floor. We designed a fully upholstered bench seat that sat underneath a triptyque of art pieces that work as stand alone pieces and as three when viewed across from the living room into the kitchen / dining room.
When the developer handed over the property to our client the kitchen was already chosen however we were able to help our client with worktop choices. We used the deep navy colour of the kitchen to inspire the colour scheme downstairs and added hints of rust to lift the palette.
Above the dining table we fitted a fitting made up from a collection of simple lit black rods, we were keen to create a wonderful vista when looking through to the area from three areas : Outside from the drive way, from the hallway upon entering the house and from the picture window leading to the garden. Throughout the whole design we carefully considered the views from all areas of the house.
JL INTERIOR DESIGN STUDIOThe window sill and the TV console are another special items of the room. Aiming to make each interior object as functional as possible, we replaced the conventional window sill with an integrated console table with a storage space. As for the TV console, it can be transformed into a full-fledged table, where home owners can spend time with their guests having meals and playing board games.
Up For Grabs InteriorsFormal sitting room for entertainment. Home owners chose an accent blue furniture and gold details. Bespoke integrated floating shelves with tile backdrop was a requirement to expose many souvenirs from World wide travel.
STUDIO A1 - INTERIOR DESIGNwww.studioa1.co.uk
Project in Banbridge in the Northern Ireland the Interior was created for a young family. We had to create an interior that would change structure and feel of the property. We needed a design that will always be relevant, comfortable and cozy.
Trying to create a timeless design, we tried and tested path. The interior uses mainly natural materials that are always relevant - natural Greige - herringbone and straight plank. The color scheme is neutral monochrome with warm shades and splash of colour in each area of the property . To prevent the interior from being boring, we used black and concrete. We have filled the classic finish with modern ergonomic furniture, lamps and decor.
Sara Slade InteriorsIt is a luxury to have two sitting rooms, but with a house with many floors and a family it really helps! This room was designed to have a calmer area for the family to sit together and for this reason we calmed the colours down o give it a softer feel. A large rug in the room and floor to ceiling curtains really elevates the space, whilst taking the textured wallpaper around the room ensures the room feels luxurious and warm.
Child Stewart DesignArchitect designed extension to a traditional family home in Dulwich, We worked closely with the clients to design the interior with a modern, clean lined aesthetic. The carefully considered storage in the pantry, utility room and hallway was specifically designed for the client to have a place for everything and everything in its place to easily keep family life ordered and easily tidied away.
Simpson & VoyleThe scale of this reception room, with the beautiful bay window, was designed to feel like a glamorous, luxurious hotel reception room. The black grand piano, placed in the space, with the backdrop of the newly restored Victorian window is the epitome of old meets new. The abundance of original features sing in the space. The room was painted in a warm neutral, introducing a blushy pink velvet bespoke sofa from The Sofa & Chair Company. The dark herringbone floor anchors the space in calm and luxury. Touches of marble from the side table and fireplace add to the sense of period. The huge artwork sat perfectly in the space adding strong colour pops that tie perfectly with the neutral palette.
Project LondonThis was a lateral 2 bedroom flat spread across two buildings. We added on the mansard roof and divided it into two split-level 2 bedroom apartments.
The apartment has everything a young professional or a small family could need. The addition of the private roof terraces was a real bonus.
All the joinery in the apartment was designed and manufactured by our sister company Cor Domi. As well as all doors and windows, designed, manufactured, and installed by PL Glazing.
This was an investment project for our client. The apartments went on the market immediately and were both sold within four weeks!
