As the house was in relatively good condition, Joanne says, their work was primarily cosmetic, except for creating a consistent floor level throughout the home. “While the work was largely cosmetic, we introduced a lot of joinery, changed all of the finishes, lighting fittings, furniture and changed the layouts of the rooms.”
Some of the most significant changes were in the entertainment space, where double doors separating the rooms were removed and replaced with a tiled arch.
“We also created a half wall in the master bedroom and put the bed on that wall so that you were looking out at the beautiful views. In the living room, there were doors either side of the fireplace into the next room. We blocked these up and created bespoke bookcases to sit into these recesses,” Joanne adds.
When it came to choosing colours, each room has its own distinct identity. “We wanted each space to have its own story, so the rooms are very different in terms of the palette.” When it came to the entertaining space, it’s split into two distinct sides.
