Shalini Misra were the winners of the Elite Global Project Award 2023 at The design et al Elite Awards 2023.

The client wanted to bring out the period features with wall panelling, intricate cornicing, archways, and panelled window shutters. This rich historical depth to the property provided a beautiful backdrop to the furniture, lighting and accessories. The wall panelling was enhanced with gold painted lines delineating the shapes and highlighting this wonderful period feature. Dark timber doors and dark chevron timber floors bring a depth and richness to the space.

In the reception room mid-century lighting mixed with Venetian floor lamps sit together with grey, red and pink upholstery bringing strong colour and warmth to the space. The seating has been designed in striking shapes with a double-sided velvet upholstered bench and sofas with fluted upholstery on the seats. These round shapes bring a diversity to the linearity of the wall panelling and cubic cornicing. Natural materials are brought in through marble and glass tables. A bespoke bar cupboard was designed for the reception with a striking onyx back that is back-lit creating a feature in the room during the day and night. The mirrored side of the bar cupboard reflects more light into the room whilst reflecting the wall panelling and furnishing. Cushions with gold metallic hints bring a warmth to the clusters of accessories.

The cosy study area has further seating with a sofa and armchairs and dark timber on the walls which combines well with the mantelpiece crafted from the same timber. The room is dark and cosy, comfortable and intimate.

Bold wallpapers are seen in certain areas in the property with a pleated paper effect wallpaper in bright blue in the lower ground floor by the kitchen and a bold print of loops in the powder loo with a complementing blind. The kitchen dining area has a long glass table with an over extended bespoke banquette offering flexible seating in the area. An ottoman has been designed to match the banquette to create a cosy seating space with the banquette.
