New York loft style transformation - before & after

When we first saw this space it was lacking in any personality and was a little tired. We decided to give it a sophisticated New York feel and achieved this by replacing the square cut skirting boards with a more traditional profile, replaced one of the set of cabinet doors with a display area for treasured items and placed bolection moulding on all of the doors.

We removed the carpet and replaced with French Oak floorboards through out the apartment with the exception of the bedrooms. This visually opened up the space as well. Wallpaper was placed on the wall in the dining area and then lots of texture as well as colours pulled from the cityscape and sunsets where used to integrate the interiors with the exterior.

After:

We removed the existing mirrored sliding doors and designed custom cabinetry to incorporate a dressing table, concealed shoe drawers and loads of storage for handbags etc.

We also repeated the bolection moulding onto the cabinetry, selected a dark hue for the carpet and installed subtle wallpaper behind the bed giving the room a feeling of a luxurious and peaceful retreat.

After:

We demolished the existing kitchen and replaced it with dramatic dark cabinetry and tiles that integrated well with the living area.

A display area was incorporated into the cabinetry to highlight the client’s treasured terracotta agave jars. Calcutta marble was selected to contrast the dark cabinets and bronze flush mounts added a feeling of warmth and luxury.
