Clive Christian Furniture have been shortlisted for Bespoke Cabinetry/Installation Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.

Nestled in the exclusive “golden valley” of Hambledon Village, just outside of Henley on Thames, Yewden Lodge, is a seven bedroom Victorian country house steeped in history. On the base level, the brief was to update and redesign the master suite in this impressive but dated Victorian Country House, starting with combining the original main bedroom, bathroom and guest room to create one beautiful master suite for the client.

The second part of the brief revolved around the incredible bathtub. The Drummonds bath is polished nickel on the inside and bright copper on the outside – this became the ultimate focal point and inspiration behind the entire project. The third layer of the brief was to bring the outside-in. This involved raising the bathroom to ensure the very best views of the garden could be seen.

Working in harmony with the Clive Christian Furniture architectural detailing and cabinetry, the bathroom is a haven of tranquillity and serenity, featuring ‘his and hers’ vanity units, Drummonds bathroom ware and Christopher Hyde chandeliers. The dressing room is Clive Christian Furniture at its best, with bespoke ‘his and hers’ wardrobe cabinetry painted in pale greys with walnut interiors. It features tall, classical fluted pilasters with frieze volutes and dentil cornice. The central dressing island with its semi-circular base ends with curved doors and is topped with San Marino white marble, all hand sourced by Pan’s Lodge.

This was a very unique project with a culmination of acute attention to detail and a sense of adventure on behalf of the client, Yewden Lodge is an ode to the wider area’s tranquillity, afforded by its proximity to the river, and its notoriety when it comes to statement design and real estate. It has been reimagined for relaxed, luxurious 21st century family living, and boasts the finest example of the architectural and historical integrity of a building’s façade informing the interior design.
