Living Room Design Photos with Limestone Floors, a Plaster Fireplace Surround and Coffered

Given the scale and unique shape of the space, several key pieces were custom-designed and manufactured. The coffee table, created from scratch in collaboration with a trusted Portuguese manufacturer, consists of three fluid-form tables in bronze finish—two with bronze mirror tops and one with a pre-selected pink and white marble top. All tables feature hammered bronze edging, perfectly positioned in the centre of the large curved sofa, with custom lighting suspended above. Another bespoke element is the rug, also produced in Portugal. Its design was tailored to the room’s unusual shape, incorporating the coral-pink tones of the space and echoing the ceiling’s unique stepped detail. This thoughtful, fully custom approach ensures each piece complements the architecture while enhancing the room’s overall cohesion and elegance.

This spacious, light-filled family room blends comfort and function with subtle classical touches. A warm palette of soft beige and stone tones creates a calm backdrop for everyday life, while carefully chosen furniture and details add depth and familiarity. The room is cleverly zoned into dining and living areas: on one side, a generous solid oak dining table with benches offers plenty of space for shared meals and gatherings. On the other, a pair of soft cream sofas and a wood-burning stove set into a simple brick-lined fireplace create a cosy, lived-in corner anchored by a neutral rug. The light sage green walls provide gentle contrast to the crisp white cornicing and deep skirting boards, bringing a traditional architectural frame to a modern family lifestyle. Wall-mounted picture lights highlight framed prints, while a circular mirror above the fireplace offers visual symmetry and bounce. Large-format stone-effect floor tiles add a tactile, timeless quality underfoot, while the black-framed door to the left connects the interior seamlessly to the garden beyond, bringing in both light and greenery.

These custom-made steel and glass partition doors were designed with a graceful arched profile and finished in a bespoke RAL-effect powder coating. The bi-fold design allows the space to be fully opened for an airy, open-plan feel or completely closed for privacy. Reeded glass fixed side panels add subtle texture and detailing, enhancing the overall elegance while maintaining a modern, lightweight aesthetic. These doors combine functionality with refined design, creating a striking yet practical architectural feature.

One of the standout features of this space is the fully bespoke ceiling design. The client’s main priority was integrated ceiling lighting, but the original ceiling height was a standard 2.4 m, which posed a challenge. To achieve the desired effect, we carefully lowered the perimeter and introduced a unique stepped detail. The coffered ceiling follows the shape of the room with elegant curves, creating a non-standard, fluid form. Despite the lowered edges, the design enhances the sense of height and adds a striking architectural focal point, combining drama with functionality.

This clever custom-made drop-down table is designed to remain hidden when not in use. With a simple push-to-open mechanism, the table pops down effortlessly and includes hidden storage, combining practicality with a clean, minimalist aesthetic. It’s a perfect solution for maximizing space without compromising style.

A standout feature of the space is the grand yet lightweight chandelier, custom-designed and manufactured in Czechoslovakia. It features over 100 individually twisted, hand-blown glass pieces in a mix of clear, coral pink, and gold mica finishes. Suspended above the furniture, the chandelier is illuminated with subtle pin lighting that passes through each piece, casting a shimmering, magical glow across the room. The combination of delicate craftsmanship and thoughtful lighting creates an enchanting focal point, adding drama and elegance without overwhelming the space.

The TV wall was designed as an elegant, understated addition rather than a dominant feature. Most of the wall is finished in the same special paint as the surrounding walls, with built-in lit shelving on either side to display decorative items. An electric fireplace was incorporated below the TV, adding warmth without compromising the clean aesthetic. A full-length floating limestone shelf provides a striking yet subtle horizontal line, while hand-carved limestone detailing around the TV and along the shelf fascia introduces texture and refinement without overwhelming the space. Additionally, we created dedicated areas for speakers, ensuring functionality and a seamless, integrated design that balances practicality with elegance.
