Alexander James Interior Design have been Shortlisted for Luxury Residence – UK Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.

The Lakehouse is a beautiful lakeside home, tucked away on a private estate in a rural corner of Hertfordshire. The client required their home to be fully refurbished and modernised, to achieve the perfect family home that is luxurious, yet functional in style. Alexander James Interior Design were asked to carry out an interior architectural design and specification service as well as full interior design for the property.

Alexander James Interior Design designed and specified all internal finishes of the property, as well as providing design and specification for all bathrooms, using the finest materials to achieve a luxurious, hotel style finish. The marble flooring continued throughout most of the first floor creates a palatial feel throughout the key guest and entertaining areas, something that was important to the client who enjoys entertaining.

In the hallway, Alexander James Interior Design created a bespoke feature mirrored wall in the hallway using a decorative painted frame, antique mirror panels with bevelled edges and faux leather panels behind the wall lights. The mirrored wall reflects the warm glow of their bespoke pendant chandelier, with its fabulous 5 bronze and glass elements which fall beautifully through all three floors of the house.

In the dining room of the home, which was originally a conservatory at the rear of the property, Alexander James used a large square bespoke dining table in satin sycamore semi-gloss finish, accompanied by 12 dining chairs with feature rear fabric. Above the table hangs a large statement pendant light in taupe silk finish, completing the grand look of the space.

In the drawing room of the property, Alexander James created a circular coffered ceiling central to the room, enabling them to create an inviting oval seating layout, perfect for entertaining friends and family. They used bespoke seating in luxurious fabrics, accompanied by complementary soft furnishings and styling accessories that create a sumptuous, cosy feel in this principle area of the home.

The design integrates perfectly as the designers have provided a contemporary, stylish home for modern living, whilst maintaining a traditional feel that is reflective of the stunning countryside it is surrounded by.
