One key objective of this renovation was to achieve functional, uncluttered space - aiming for areas that work hard but still give a feeling of roominess. Storage is key, and one of the exciting challenges was reimagining small areas to work effectively. The end point was a stylised home with clever intricacies which look simple to the eye. Flooring is an exquisite feature throughout. The Basket Weave in the kitchen speaks to the stained veneer of the cabinetry, while the hardwearing and stain resistant Dekton porcelain benchtops combine form and function perfectly. A focal point is the handmade ceramic wall lights, reflecting the clients love of individuality. Moving through we removed a stairwell wall and added a balustrade which transformed the space; the client was not afraid of rich tones, so we brought these in through a beautiful Bremworth wool carpet. Similarly, the client was fearless with depth and texture; the master bathroom is compact - however large format tiles enhance the space and dark tones create a feeling of luxury and intimacy. A textured vanity wall tile adds interest and the warm tones of the bronze mirror elevate the experience. The flooring in the bedrooms again allowed me to create a visual link with the location. In the spare bedrooms a sisal carpet conjures a pure beach vibe, which was reflected back through the décor; the guest bathroom showcases a ceramic basin and bronze tapware – a warm ivory wall of natural limestone gives off calm understated elegance. The use of V-groove paneling serves to create a sense of size, space, and elevates ceiling height.
