While these are the functional spaces, in contrast, on the other side of the house is a cosy snug. “The atmosphere is cocooning yet refined, soothed in the soft, warm beige of Farrow & Ball’s Cord. Our furnishings and upholstery follow a cohesive, organic theme with nods to nature and botanicals. A sculptural ceiling light adds a subtle modern glamour, while the floor-to-ceiling curtains and fabric roman blind in a creamy neutral frame the window, filtering light. The room feels comfortable and contemporary, with warmth, calm and a subtle elegance.”
Overall, the design has created flow and warmth where it was lacking before. “The design blends contemporary elegance with understated comfort, resulting in a space that feels as effortlessly stylish as it is deeply welcoming,” Deirdre says. “As ever in design, the best work is a collaboration with the homeowners, the building team and the designers. Our clients sought an interior that calmed the mind and body, bringing a sense of being at ease. While incorporating the best of contemporary refinement, the results are a warm, cohesive and timeless décor.”
