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.

We were very fortunate to collaborate with Janice who runs the Instagram account @ourhomeonthefold. Janice was on the look out for a new media wall fire and we provided our NERO 1500 1.5m wide electric fire with our REAL log fuel bed. Her husband got to work and but their own customer media wall to suit their space.

Open space living room in Wimbledon that overlooks a beautiful garden. The design would aim to seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living, taking full advantage of the natural beauty of the garden. Layout and Flow: The living room would feature an open-plan layout with large floor-to-ceiling windows or glass doors that provide unobstructed views of the garden. The idea is to create a sense of connection with nature, letting in abundant natural light and fresh air. The space would be airy and inviting, with a relaxed, modern aesthetic.

Originally, this room was an oversized, dark dining space, completely closed off from the kitchen. Working closely with the clients, we reimagined it as a versatile function space, suitable for family gatherings and events. To open up the layout, we demolished the wall separating the kitchen and the new function area, installing custom bi-fold glass doors to maintain flexibility. Existing doors to the garden room were enhanced with a bespoke panel system for a seamless, cohesive look. We also reconfigured the windows, removing the old frames and the central dividing wall, replacing them with full-width glazing that frames a beautiful side garden view and floods the space with natural light. The result is a bright, welcoming room that balances functionality with modern design.

The stylish double-aspect fireplace in your open-plan living room would serve as a striking centerpiece while also being a functional and stylish room divider. In this design, the fireplace is seamlessly integrated into a sleek, contemporary structure that divides the living space from adjacent areas, such as a dining room or study, while offering views of both sides. Design Concept: The fireplace would be built directly into the wall or a specially designed partition, ensuring a streamlined and sophisticated look. On either side of the fireplace, custom-built bookshelves extend from the floor to the ceiling, creating a rich contrast of warmth and texture against the cool, sleek surfaces of the room.

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.
