Bespoke pieces and carefully considered layering of textures and finishes create impact and a truly individual look within an interior design scheme. We believe that design is a way of interpreting an individual’s expression of ideas and style preferences and translating them into a space or object that resonates on a personal level. Whether applied to a residential interior scheme, luxe hotel suite or bespoke piece of furniture, design details provide a connection between person, function and aesthetic.
Part of the design journey that we find incredibly rewarding is the process of interpreting a brief and developing a design that connects the lifestyle of our client with their space. This connection, whether interpreted through the layering of textural elements, luxurious materials and finishes, bespoke furniture pieces or unique storage solutions brings an interior scheme together while at the same time making the space feel personal and lived-in.
Consideration of every detail contributes to an interior scheme that exudes warmth, character and understated luxury. We’ve assembled a few design details featured in our recently completed Carlton Hill project in St John’s Wood that showcases exquisite attention to detail and the layering of textures and finishes to great effect.
This gently curved sofa with recessed arm detail and battered antique brass legs sits in the elegant reception room. The beautiful Zirma fabric from Rubelli glistens as it catches the natural sunlight and contrasts perfectly with the rich texture of the oatmeal rug. Cushions upholstered in Great Plains, Venetian Glass from Holly Hunt and Silk Beads from Evitavonni.
The stud or rivet detail on this curtain trim (hammered nailhead on leather from Samuel & Sons) is a chic style statement that complements the delicate pattern of the sofa, which has been upholstered in Soundwave, Sand & Steel from Holly Hunt.
