Living Room Design Photos with Dark Hardwood Floors, Limestone Floors, Brick Floors, Porcelain Floors and a Corner TV

This is the first in a series of images and IGTV posts showing the transformation of our apartment renovation in Kensington, London. It is not often as an interior designer that you get to totally transform a home from top to bottom. This four-bed apartment situated in one of London’s most prestigious garden squares was a joy to work on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I designed and project-managed the entire renovation. The 2,500sqft apartment was tired and needed a total transformation. My brief was to create a classic contemporary space. The flat was stripped back to the bare bones; we removed the old flooring and installed full soundproofing throughout the apartment. I then laid a dark Wenge parquet flooring and kept the walls in a light off-white paint to keep the apartment light and airy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I decided to retain the original mouldings on the walls and paint the areas (walls, moulding and covings) in the same colour. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This first image shows the Bolection-style fireplace with the dark slate contrast hearth and slips. I balanced the room by placing two dark wood sideboards and a dark round mirror above the fireplace as a punchy contract to the pale walls.

In this beautiful-looking living room, an industrial ambiance seamlessly blends with the inviting charm of a cozy reading nook. The space boasts exposed brick walls, complemented by a mix of metal and wood elements, creating an industrial aesthetic. The carefully curated furnishings and soft textiles introduce a sense of comfort, turning a corner of the room into a dedicated reading space. The combination of raw textures, warm lighting, and strategically placed bookshelves enhances the overall ambiance, making it an ideal haven for relaxation and literary enjoyment.

Green is one of the most calming paint colours, as your eye does not need to adjust. Plus there is the added benefit of its easy connotations with the natural world. Partner this with soft pastel furnishings and some low-level lighting you and have the perfect living room oasis!

The brief for this project was to marry the traditional old Cotswold house with the modern extension. We used fabrics to translate this concept, through the use of bold colours and modern patterns, in order to unite the old with the new. Each room brings together new colours and patterns to evoke a new mood and story throughout the house.
