LEIVARS Interiors Studio worked with the client, the CEO of an international luxury brand, for the third time with this project. The brief was to completely strip out and reconfigure the rooms to create a home office whilst maximising light and comfort. The client asked for subtle nods of elegance from the Art Deco era yet having undertones of femininity and drama.

LEIVARS Interiors Studio wanted to connect the living and dining space to create a striking statement fireplace and sight line towards the small rear patio, and so they designed a full length low level fire place and opted to have this made from beautiful marble with fluting detail. By keeping the fireplace low and long whilst working with vertical fluting details it gives this small property the feeling of height with real impact. By adding in a bio ethanol fire gave some warmth and interest in the colder months.

Within the three upper rooms, LEIVARS opened up the master bedroom to the en suite so it felt much grander in presence and connected the rooms by selecting a contrast ceiling paint, so it felt continuous and cohesive. And by adding in a striking statement vintage chandelier, it really gave the bathroom its own showstopper. The designers also selected a beautiful Calacatta Rose marble to adorn the shower and bathing area which created a gorgeous and pretty en suite bathroom for her with an added touch of a bespoke fluted black ash vanity unit. Heavy use of antique gold mirrors creates reflections which make the room feel bigger and add warm tones.
