The design-savvy owners of a fashionable London shoe boutique, wanted to inject warmth into their Victorian family house whilst adding character and trendy Scandinavian style. Floor-to-ceiling Crittal doors open onto a formal sitting room to the side, with the dark, graphic lines of the frame echoed through a statement steel and glass quad pendant and simple black linear furniture and accessories. A stunning butterscotch polished plaster wall with an inset fireplace, symmetrical backlit shelves and dropped down low cabinetry designed by HUX London sets a striking tone. Colourful, contemporary furniture, stylish lighting and interesting art, accessories and objet complement the eye-catching backdrop. A vibrant teal sofa sits against an abstract wallcovering contrasting with the space around it. The room is filled with iconic design pieces and modern furniture defined by simplicity, subtle sophistication and clean lines. A polished concrete floor, white walls and an exposed brick feature wall combine to create a stylish setting for the sleek matt charcoal kitchen cabinets, which are topped with white marble worktops. A chic mustard-coloured sofa and simple, black-framed furniture and lighting create a cosy and cohesive scheme. The result is a contemporary yet relaxed entertaining space and the warm tones of the timber balancing beautifully with the exposed brick opposite.
