Herringbone Parquet Wilesden, London

Fin Wood Ltd

We fitted the engineered herringbone parquet continuously all throughout the ground floor. Thus we achieved an overwhelming surface of parquet. And the large space became even larger. For the fireplace our recommendation was a seamless frame built into the parquet floor. We were glad that this option was chosen as the fireplace became a focal point and actually enriched the beauty of this aged parquet. More details here -> http://goo.gl/LlKEA5 The stairs were strengthened from above as well from under to eliminate all the present and potential squeaks. The oak engineered boards for risers and treads were bespoke finished in situ with Osmo Polyx Oil. We selected wide boards of 240mm to cover the entire width of the tread. This also allowed us to use minimal, reduced sized, nosing trims thus emphasising the oak boards. Each step was individually crafted according to the stair structure to achieve a uniform and symmetrical look. The upstairs landing was beautifully connected with the stairs by installing wide boards as well with the same finish. On the ground floor we had to replace the skirting compared to the landing where the existing skirting was undercut. We especially crafted a coffee table from the same materials as the parquet floor and stairs. After this the whole project took a new meaning. Let us know if you like this. We were delighted!

Un appartement parisien, hommage au design des années 50 et 60

Anne Chemineau - Decor Interieur

Le projet Un appartement parisien, dans le pur style haussmannien, avec un très grand séjour lumineux et ayant besoin de style et de personnalité. Notre solution Pour donner de la personnalité au séjour tout en conservant les éléments d’origine, une réflexion sur le style du mobilier et de la décoration est engagée avec les propriétaires. Après plusieurs propositions et recherches associées, l’orientation pour des meubles vintage et design des années 50 et 60 est apparu clairement car en parfaite harmonie avec l’univers graphique et coloré des oeuvres ornant les murs de l’appartement. Le style Une composition à quatre mains avec les propriétaires avec du mobilier design et vintage mettant en scène entre autre : un fauteuil bleu de Aldo Morbello pour Isa Bergamo des années 50 et un fauteuil Diamond de Erling Torvits. Un tapis de chez Toulemonde Bochart avec un graphisme discret apporte confort et chaleur en contraste avec une table basse en laiton et plateau marbre. L’espace salle à manger reste épuré avec une table originale au plateau en marbre et piètements chromés de Charles et Ray Eames mise en valeur par des chaises aux couleurs dépareillées des mêmes designers. L’ensemble de la décoration ainsi composé de pièces iconiques ou uniques rend ainsi hommage au design des années 50 et 60 et associe confort, style et personnalité.

Transitional Family Room and Bar

Fran Kerzner- DESIGN SYNTHESIS

They needed new custom cabinetry to accommodate their new 75" flat screen so we worked with the cabinetry and AV vendors to design a unit that would encompass all of the AV plus display and storage extending all the way to the window seat. We designed a new coffered ceiling with lighting in each bay. And built out the fireplace with dimensional tile to the ceiling. The color scheme was kept intentionally monochromatic to show off the different textures with the only color being touches of blue in the pillows and accessories to pick up the art glass.

Large Midcentury Games Room Ideas and Designs

If you’re lucky enough to have more than one reception room then you have a bit more freedom when deciding what to do with your secondary space. Families with children or just young-at-heart adults could opt for a family room or midcentury games room; whether it’s a pool or snooker table room, a comfy relaxation or TV area, a video games haven, a playroom packed with toys or a sports room with accompanying bar. Usually midcentury games rooms are naturally fun, recreational spaces so it’s important that the furnishings are functional but enjoyable with an emphasis on comfort, storage, games and entertainment. If you have the scope, family room extensions are a great way of extending from your kitchen or other area of your house to create a whole new, dedicated family space or midcentury games room. Basements are also wonderfully suited to house games rooms as they are usually soundproof and secluded so that loud games, films and cheers of success or failure won’t be heard next door or upstairs. If you do have, or plan on having, a separate games room, it’s a great opportunity to go to town on the games, entertainment, gadgets and laid back feel you can have in this informal living space. Look through the hundreds of family room ideas and games room ideas on Houzz to help inspire your own project.

What furniture does my family room or games room need?

This should be a relaxing place that promotes fun and socialisation, so fill the room with comfortable seating. Plush armchairs, wide sofas, bean bags and reclining chairs are all great games room ideas that promote R&R. Add coffee tables and side tables for holding glasses and plates (if they’re allowed), books, magazines and all the other knick-knacks that accumulate in a family room. TV stands or media units are great for keeping DVDs, audio systems, gaming consoles and all other gadgetry neat and organised. If you have small children, be mindful of free floor space for any rough-and-tumble and bump-able surfaces. A cosy rug will be a great addition but make sure it doesn’t easily slip under fast moving feet! If you’re going all out for the games room option then the sky’s your limit when it comes to games tables and other gaming equipment. Snooker, billiards and pool tables will keep competitive spirits busy but if you don’t have the room, table football could be a more suitable option. There’s also air hockey, poker tables, table tennis and cribbage tables; simply pick your game of choice. And of course, if you’re a big fan of the arrows a dart board will be a necessity, just make sure you have a safe area to practise in and your walls are well protected!

What family and games room decor should I use?

Photographs, artwork, colour schemes and textures that reflect the essence of your household will add charm and promote a sense of comfort and relaxation for your family. Fill the room with features your family love – films, board games, books, music and perhaps sports memorabilia. Keep decor functional and practical – pristine white upholstery and rugs are probably not the ticket for the hustle and bustle of a games or family room. If you love light or neutral tones family room ideas that could work include light leather sofas, which will be easy to clean in the case of any spills, and soft coloured cushions and throws that can be thrown in the washing machine whenever necessary. If you see your games room as a serious and competitive arena, set the mood with dark and grown up colours such as inky blues and deep greens, as well as lots of mood lighting. If you want the fun and games to stay lighthearted then you can keep your games room bright, colourful and punchy.

How do I create a family or games room space in a small house?

If you don’t have more than one reception room then it may seem out of reach to think about a games or family room design. However, if you have a large kitchen, consider an open plan kitchen family room – just adding a sofa or some comfy chairs and a space to read, watch TV or simply sip your coffee in the morning, will turn your kitchen into a cosy, relaxing family room that’s, most importantly, within easy reach of the fridge and food cupboards. Without a large kitchen or second reception room then it will be up to your living room to provide you with your games room or family space, and this is where storage will be your new best friend. Clever games room ideas such as hidden drawers in sofas; coffee tables and benches that store games, toys and DVDs; and clever media centres that hide away your TV, DVD players, consoles and Hi-Fi systems; can help make the room become more formal on separate occasions. Take a look through the photos on Houzz to get some great games room and family room ideas and inspiration. You may find the family or games room design you’ve been looking for and you can contact the professional that designed it to see if they can create something similar for you.
