Period Conversion on Spectacular Communal Gardens

This Maida Vale property is undeniably bright and airy. Typically, people think white and off-white colours are the go-to for achieving this, yet there wasn’t a lick of white paint used here. Instead, we opted for a richer palette that still denotes a natural, organic feeling. This creates moods and sensations that vary depending on how the colours react with the daylight or layered lighting scheme in each room. All of the paints used across the property were sourced from Argile, a French eco-responsible paint manufacturer with an impressive palette of 184 harmonious shades to choose from.

The owner of this home loves to have friends over, so sparking cosiness and conviviality were paramount when creating the interiors of the living spaces. The dining area is ideal for informal gatherings, evoking the feeling of a cosy corner in a French bistro. The bespoke window-seat hugs the custom marble dining table perfectly and is illuminated by an Atelier 001 pendant light. Just to the side, a sleek bar area calls for some attention.

Blush, currant, and terracotta shades coalesce for a striking, contemporary look with a French feel in the living area. This versatile family of colours blend well with lots of other shades, so we interspersed soft tones of green such as moss and sage. The luxurious spaces allow the owners to decompress and feel uplifted – this home strikes a perfect balance between helping you relax and feel at inspired to entertain and enjoy yourself.

Bespoke joinery allows you to create something truly unique to the dimensions of your home, and there’s nothing like a perfectly fit, custom solution made to match your needs. Knocking down a structural wall, we opened up the living area and transformed what was once a small bedroom into an open-plan, bespoke luxury kitchen. Enlisting several specialist suppliers for their combined craftsmanship expertise, the end result is a smart yet characterful kitchen. Cabinets were given a hand-painted pitted champagne liquid leaf finish and all appliances were placed to integrate beautifully. Bespoke blinds by Material Concepts dress the large south-west facing windows without drawing too much attention or taking up a lot of space.

With this project, we focused heavily on lighting and technology, enlisting master home automation specialist IDS Technology to ensure sleek, easy, and intuitive technical design. From the intercom doorbell to the lighting, heating, security, sound systems and blinds, everything is simple to use and automated to fit around the owner’s lifestyle.

A bespoke wardrobe can completely transform a bedroom, making optimum use of space and keeping things sleek. The goal is to create a design that appeals both aesthetically and functionally, accommodating the existing clothing, shoes, accessories, and so on, while also leaving enough room for new purchases. The custom wardrobe in the bedroom allows the owner to stay organised and enjoy getting ready in the mornings
