This living room has to be one of my favourite transformations to date - and one of those projects where I didnāt want to leave when it was finished!
The brief was to create a room that felt warm, sophisticated and very much āthemā, while giving their whisky and artwork collections the space they deserved.
The existing alcove cabinets were completely ripped out and redesigned from scratch. We created bespoke cabinetry with beautiful marble worktops, plenty of storage and space for the whisky collection to grow ā and, most importantly, somewhere to pour a dram and enjoy it!
I absolutely love how the clientsā artwork brings colour and personality into the room. The russet wallpaper inside the back of the whisky cabinets adds another layer and catches the light beautifully, while the sophisticated charcoal blue walls work so well with the existing curtains and oak flooring. Warm camel tones were then introduced to complement the blue and bring warmth into the scheme.
The finishing touch was the lighting. Dimmable wall lights allow the mood to change throughout the day, from bright and welcoming to warm and atmospheric - exactly what you want from a room like this.
And the best bit? The clients absolutely love it. Seeing how much they enjoy the room, and knowing it feels completely personal to them, is what makes all those little design decisions worthwhile.
I love it too ā¤ļø
