This project is for a young professional, very busy with his work who needed some advice to chose colours and equipment.
For the living area, the brief was a modern comfortable place in a black and white scheme, with a black leather sofa.
Here is the sample board for the dining/sitting area
This is a computerized image of the space view from above. This is not a photo like image, this is a computerize rendering to help understand the planning of space. The colours are seen on the sample board.
Here is the sitting area with a black leather sofa and a white leather rocking chair.
I designed the rug to finish the scheme. The rug is made bespoke by Misha-rug company.
On the other side of the room is a big built-in cupboard, to hide the television and other equipment. The client showed me what sort of wall unit he wanted and I designed this one, that is made by a carpenter.
A bright red chair prevents the black and white scheme to be boring and cold.
Here is the dining area. A cupboard is built above the radiator, and transform it as a real feature with a nice shelving space.
Very often staircase are a place where to pass as quickly as possible simply because it is boring. Staircases are also very often dark and narrow, un-interesting. I decided for this project to use a beautiful dark wall paper (cut out lace from Vivienne Westwood) on one wall. This wall is lit by beautifull glass Art Deco wall sconce, and every other stair is lit by a stair wall light.
Here is the sample board.
Arrived on the first floor, you enter the master bedroom, which is a sophisticated retreat all in shiny silver and beautiful dark purple.
The brief was a comfortable and modern retreat, empty of un-necessary furniture. Here is the sample board:
This is a computerized image to understand the use of the space.
The second room on the first floor is the guest bedroom/office. Here the Brief was a multifunctional room to be used as an office and as a guest bedroom. The sofa is a sofabed and there is plenty of storage.
Here is the sample board:
Here is a computerized view of the office/guest bedroom
The top floor bedroom is another multifunctional room. It is the "boys' playroom", where you can listen to the music, have a drink... and it is also to be used as an occasional guest bedroom.
The colours are bright and exciting.
