Introduction

The relationship with our homes has developed more intimately over the past few years. As we seek comfort from the outside world, the concept of nesting in our homes has become a familiar one. From hybrid living spaces to dedicated home offices, houses have been transformed into multi-functional places.

So, whilst our Design Experts are always on hand to chat through your vision and goals, we’ve also put some starting points and considerations in this guide.

Happy exploring!

Staircase Renovations

“Although often overlooked, the staircase is typically the first thing you see when you walk into your home. It can be a very dominant part of your decor and has potential to create an impeccable first impression to visitors.

As a designer, it’s my job to educate our clients on just how much a staircase renovation can completely transform the home. We go way past form and function to create something with a real wow factor.”

Fitted Wardrobes

02

Bespoke fitted wardrobes eliminate the unclean gaps left with freestanding furniture. Precisely installed into awkward spaces, they leave a finish that is not only aesthetically but also functionally pleasing.

At a time when homeowners are putting a premium on space, fitted bedroom furniture is sure to help add value to the property.”

Dressing Rooms

A fitted dressing room can make people fall in love with a house. They imagine how they would use it if they were living there.

A client of mine said they sold an enormous house in Dulwich apparently with the help of a little walk-in wardrobe that was built in an angled room adjoining the master bedroom. Apparently, the people who bought it thought of the house as “the one with the dressing room.”

Home Libraries

04

It has never been more important to have a space that we can escape from home-working life. We have definitely seen an increase in home library projects recently.

Whether it’s a multi-purpose space within a bedroom or a library that has become a place to close the door on home working for the day, unwind and immerse yourself in music or literature.”

Multi-functional Studies

“I’ve had clients say “we didn’t manage to buy the house with the Neville Johnson study – which is why we need you to design one for us here!”

A study area can also be designed into a living room – in a way that it doesn’t make the living room feel like an office. Your desk can be hidden by sliding panels or bi-fold doors – or the whole piece can simply be designed to feel more like living room furniture.”
