With the aim to turn this apartment into a truly luxurious gentleman’s private office, Juliettes Interiors was commissioned to design a working environment that wasn’t only practical and professional for Zoom and in-person meetings, but a space that was also strikingly beautiful and sophisticated. The option to stay late at the ‘office’ as well as provide an overnight base was also required, with a living-style zone added for maximum comfort.

Due to the apartment’s compact size, spatial planning was not an easy task, so Juliettes Interiors chose to introduce customised pieces of furniture to ensure the right flow was achieved throughout the space with each piece working in harmony together. In one small living space, Juliette and her team needed to create three zones: a living area, kitchen/dining and office. With detail at its core, the design scheme needed to be cohesive. Dark tones and luxurious fabrics have been skillfully layered, paired with a variety of textures and bold brassware accessories – from the striking pendant light above the table to the dressing table in the bedroom. The large windows allow for plenty of natural light to flood the rooms, adding depth and interest to the dark décor. The office is set up in the living space at the centre of the apartment. A premium Italian leather desk and chair complements the dark wood and brass detailed designer desk, blending together for an incredibly opulent final product.

Due to the property being an Historic Grade II listed Mansion of particular historical importance Juliettes Interiors needed to protect the internals of the building as their works have an impact on the special interest of the property. Additional plasterboard was fixed to the internal walls leaving them with a void between the real historical wall and the internal plasterboard. Hanging heavy items and fixing heavy items on the walls was a challenge in that each fixing had to be reinforced to enable the plasterboard to take the weight of the fittings.
