For this project, the clients wanted a home that looked extraordinary, mixing traditional with contemporary styles. Above all, the clients wanted the home to flow perfectly to suit their needs as a young family.

The brief included creating a stunning showpiece master suite, with bedroom, en-suite bathroom and bespoke dressing room. The children’s rooms, playroom and bathrooms needed to be playful, colourful, and exciting creative havens for young minds. Furthermore, the clients required more formal adult areas – a drawing room and study. The brief was to take inspiration from hotels the clients love, such as Heckfield Place and to create a sumptuous but not overly extravagant home.

One of the key aspects of this project was the open plan living and dining area. Gomm Studio Ltd created bespoke separate areas for the kitchen / pantry and the living room area with large L-shaped sofa and tv. All of this is divided by the spacious entrance hallway flowing into the room, allowing plenty of room for the children to play. Topped off is the wall-filled windows overlooking the garden, with gorgeous soft-fabric curtains flowing to the dark wood floor.

The design works so well as it looks beautiful without being overly showy. It is definitely for a modern, young family, and incorporates their artwork and tastes to stand out amongst the timeless aspects of the design. The whole house flows – if you took each room in isolation you could match together that they belong in the same house – yet each has its own identity. The whole house is joined together by a delightful spiral staircase. It fulfils the brief of working for the whole family, with fun and enjoyable spaces for all generations.
