OXFORDSHIRE FAMILY HOME

Our clients’ large Georgian house in South Oxfordshire was already well-appointed, but there was a need for a fabulous teen snug and for a newly configured guest bedroom suite at the top of the house.

This project involved spatial planning, 2D and 3D digital design drawings; colour/room schemes; materials, furniture and equipment procurement and sourcing; management of tradespeople; installation and final ‘glossy magazine’ styling.

Sitting room/ TV room/ snug corner with sofa, swivel armchair, antique side table. The room's colour palette was inspired by the artwork hanging on the wall here.
All shelving needs lighting and this is a separate dimmable circuit that is hidden behind bespoke beading, downlighting the objects displayed beneath. It creates a cosy atmosphere and a feeling of depth and interest to the room.

This image shows the layering of colour, materials and texture with a backdrop of a carefully-considered lighting scheme on 3 circuits. The swivel armchair in the foreground has been a huge hit with the family!
The bespoke shelving is backed with textured wallpaper that subtly catches the light, creating a cosy glow.
This deep blue velvet corner sofa is large enough to seat 6 comfortably and 8 squished! Placing the wall lights in a symmetrical position either side of the round mirror which reflects the wallpapered ceiling, creates a peaceful vista and adds inter
The sitting room/ TV room/ snug in this Oxfordshire family home is now well-used by the 3 teenagers as well as their parents. It is cosy, warm and comfortable and is practical - offering a space to relax, to socialise and to watch TV and play games.

THE TEEN SNUG

Our brief for the Snug was to create a room for the teenagers to relax in - to hang out with their mates and to watch TV. This room had always been cold and uninviting - we warmed it up with a radiator overhaul, specified luxe, interlined Colefax & Fowler wool curtains and pelmets and chose mellow colours for the walls and fabrics. A ‘wow factor’ was top of the brief and Charlotte’s choice of the woodland wallpapered ceiling ticked the box for everyone and added a timeless focal point.

GUEST BEDROOM & ENSUITE BATHROOM

The guest bedroom project began with the repositioning of the bed to the middle of the wall, under the apex of the ceiling and a pretty little central window. Our clients had a favourite deep aubergine velvet quilt which they wanted to use, so this sumptuous colour became the beginnings of the cosy palette of purple, bone china blue and cream.

The bathroom was given a ‘refresh’ with a coat of warm stone-hued paint, Zellige tiles and fabric lampshades to continue the blue theme through from the bedroom. A bespoke waterproof sisal rug and a few carefully chosen antiques and pictures add texture and personality.
