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 fireplace 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 3 upper rooms, LEIVARS Interiors Studio opened up the master bedroom to the en suite so it became grander in presence. The designers connected the rooms by selecting a contrast ceiling paint, so it felt continuous and cohesive. Adding in a striking statement vintage chandelier really gave the bathroom its own showstopper. LEIVARS then selected a beautiful Calacatta Rose marble to adorn the shower and bathing area which created a gorgeous en suite bathroom for her with an added touch of a bespoke fluted black ash vanity unit. Heavy use of antique gold mirrors to create reflection making the room feel bigger and adding warm tones.

The scheme is so successful because it’s simple, and the design details and materials speak for themselves rather than over filling the design scheme.
