Naomi Melling Design has recently completed Shire Lodge, a five-bedroom new build in Preston, Lancashire. The goal was to create a welcoming, stylish home with a classical architectural essence while integrating modern features and functionality suited to family life. The result is a home that strikes the perfect balance between elegance and practicality, with every space thoughtfully designed for family living and social gatherings.

A standout feature of the project is the open-plan kitchen and living space. This area exemplifies Naomi Melling Design’s skilful balance between functionality and aesthetic appeal. The layout maximizes space and enhances workflow, creating a harmonious and highly usable environment. Carefully chosen materials and a calming colour palette infuse the space with warmth, making it both inviting and efficient for daily life and entertaining.

Naomi Melling Design also incorporated sustainable materials and advanced technology throughout, underscoring the project’s commitment to environmental responsibility. From eco-friendly materials to energy-efficient appliances, every detail reflects both design excellence and a dedication to sustainability, aligning with the values of the community.

The cohesive design throughout Shire Lodge maintains a classic look, with consistent use of materials, colours, and finishes to unify each space. The open kitchen, designed as the heart of the home, provides a seamless transition into dining and living areas, encouraging family interaction and socializing. With this project, Naomi Melling Design has created a sophisticated yet liveable home, artfully combining timeless style with modern sensibility for a truly welcoming family space.
