This ultra-high-end luxurious home office apartment has undergone a major interiors transformation by London-based interior design studio Juliettes Interiors.
Due to the apartment’s compact size, spatial planning was not an easy task, so Juliettes Interiors chose to introduce customised pieces of furniture to ensure the right flow was achieved throughout the space with each piece working in harmony together. In one small living space, Juliette and her team needed to create three zones: a living area, kitchen/dining and office. With detail at its core, the design scheme needed to be cohesive. Dark tones and luxurious fabrics have been skillfully layered, paired with a variety of textures and bold brassware accessories – from the striking pendant light above the table to the dressing table in the bedroom. The large windows allow for plenty of natural light to flood the rooms, adding depth and interest to the dark décor.
A building is listed when it is of special architectural or historic interest considered to be of national importance and therefore worth protecting. Due to the property being an Historic Grade II listed Mansion of particular historical importance, the team needed to protect the internals of the building as their works have an impact on the special interest of the property. Additional plasterboard was fixed to the internal walls leaving them with a void between the real historical wall and the internal plasterboard. Hanging heavy items and fixing heavy items on the walls was a challenge in that each fixing had to be reinforced to enable the plasterboard to take the weight of the fittings.
High end furniture is more often made to larger more generous proportions – assuming the properties are larger to accommodate the pieces. In this project, the team had to deal with the opposite situation. It meant each piece was customised and/or a prototype one-off item, whilst being design accurate and functional from the outset. The final outcome was a unique interior led by the client with a “design brand type look”.
