Interior renovation project on a restored riverside arts and crafts property which included bespoke cabinetry, space planning and lighting. Various sections needed enhancing with bespoke cabinetry, internal doors to segregate areas more effectively, let in light and enhance journey through the house.

The clients wanted to celebrate being by the river therefore the design aimed to make a more seamless link between the home and the river. Although the house is an English home dating back over 150 years, the client wanted a fresh, bright clean New England interior which was sympathetic with the house which has a contemporary feel.

They wanted to use white across the ground floor and taking that brief Mark Taylor Design developed bespoke joinery features that successfully achieved that. This was achieved by using wide panelling on the walls, bold mouldings, metal fixtures and fittings for accent, glass to reflect light and a lighting plan that created warmth. The scale of the cabinetry doesn’t diminish the grandeur of the space but creates a secure and comfortable environment. As easy to relax in as to entertain in.

The ground floor was an empty shell. The bespoke cabinetry enhances the original space both in stature and empathy with the original structure. It helps the natural flow from one room in to the next. The specialist skills used for this project is Handmade joinery. Specifically, the louvre large internal doors.
