THE ELEVATED HOME IN ST MARGARETS

This elevated home has been taken up another level. Removing alcove storage rather than added, carefully crafted cabinetry, playing with form and adding texture in materials & upholstery throughout.

Having just moved in the owners of No 45 wanted to make their house their own. To give each space personality while considering the functionality and purpose within. Coupled with the desire for warmth, character and comfort. The brief was to create their dream home. To truly reflect the way they live with carefully considered detailing and finished to perfection. We wanted to play to the houses strengths with its incredible period features. The tall ceiling, beautiful coving, open fire and bay window. The alcove storage wasn’t quite right as it drew the eye in thus making the room feel smaller, less inviting. Removing them gives more depth & creates the feeling of space. Lighting was a key element that was introduced to create ambience and warmth. Adding ceiling roses, and statement lighting to create movement and harmony. Painting the coving and ceilings a darker hue created balance and gave the ceiling a sense of graciousness. The bay window was brought to life with a contemporary window seat, elongating the window bringing with it a sense of purpose.

In the bedroom a bespoke dressing table was introduced thus bringing a dull corner of the room to life. Adding a luxurious and inviting focal point balances the other key elements in the space. Introducing plants breathes oxygen and energy while adding warmth and colour.

The overall affect is elegant but enlivening brimming with personality and style.
