This fun-loving, dynamic family wanted to upgrade their Edwardian family home to highlight their personalities and passions within a brand new design scheme. Against a tight timescale of nine months, the project began with a complete strip out of the existing flooring, joinery and almost all existing furnishings and fixtures. The period features such as ceiling roses, cornicing and spindles were left to shine in the new scheme.

The clients wanted to create an impact in the entrance hall and for this to highlight the style and colours of the rest of the house. Emma Green Design chose to retain the original staircase and paint this a dark grey and offset this against the encaustic floor tiles. The sophisticated and cocooning lounge was wanted as a place of sanctuary in the evenings to watch TV and also entertain adult guests. The designer chose to create this blue thread through to the kitchen where the units are a softer shade of blue with gorgeous bespoke cream leather bar stools on which to perch. Generous storage was incorporated into the kitchen cabinetry as the client doesn’t like to see clutter! The overall look is colourful, yet calm and allows the spaces to breathe.

Emma Green Design wanted to incorporate colour and character throughout the house whilst retaining a sense of lightness with predominantly neutral tones on the walls. The interior design scheme is a curated design with bespoke joinery sprinkled throughout, from the bespoke media unit to the show storage in the hallway to the toy room storage, which sits confidently with the rest of the customised furnishings and allows them to breathe and the scheme to flow from room to room. The colour scheme is sophisticated yet interesting.
