family home

We originally worked on a complete remodel of this lovely family house just outside Richmond 17 years ago, but now the property needed a refresh. With most of the children having flown the nest, we reviewed the spaces to suit a new lifestyle and redecorated the home which had been so loved and well used by this growing family over the years.

The existing honey oak floor was sanded down and is now a light blond base to the key rooms. This desire for as much light as possible led to us choosing a palette of warm whites, caramels & creams throughout with accents of deep organic tone to add drama.

The beautifully designed lighting has been updated to LED with a nod to both maximising light and energy efficiency too. By moving artwork and furniture into new areas, we were able to give the house a new lease of life. Recovering and refinishing favourite pieces was the client’s preference to throwing out and bring in new. This gives the interior scheme it "bones”, reduces waste and means that the wear & tear endured from 17 years of family use still feels familiar but refreshed and updated.

One end of the house has been transformed from a "granny" flat to a light and bright garden room with doors and glazing out on to the garden. The garden is a focal point to look out on from all the rooms - 17 years of changing and growing the private, sunny garden has made it the perfect view to look out on during all seasons.

Full of memories but looking firmly to the future the owners look forward to many more happy years living here.
