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.
Simpson & VoyleThese geometric, candy coloured tiles are the hero of this bathroom. Playful, bright and heartening on the eye. The built in storage and tiles in the same colour make the bathroom feel bright and open.
Goldstone InteriorsA warm and inviting space to wake up to, cook your favourite meals and share special times with family and friends. The heart of the home, most definitely in Raven House, a large room overlooking the plush garden. A mix of old and new, incorporating pieces from the families travels, with hints of Mexico, India and Africa, this kitchen is brimming with spice.

Muchmore DesignThe team at Muchmore Design were asked to create a timeless functional kitchen and utility that worked for family living and was coherent with the wider design scheme. Key points were bold and dark but still inviting, maximising on height and available storage and adding industrial touches whilst maintaining a homely feel.

Sustainable KitchensBrick, wood and light beams create a calming, design-driven space in this Bristol kitchen extension.
In the existing space, the painted cabinets make use of the tall ceilings with an understated backdrop for the open-plan lounge area. In the newly extended area, the wood veneered cabinets are paired with a floating shelf to keep the wall free for the sunlight to beam through. The island mimics the shape of the extension which was designed to ensure that this south-facing build stayed cool in the sunshine. Towards the back, bespoke wood panelling frames the windows along with a banquette seating to break up the bricks and create a dining area for this growing family.
