Byley, Middlewich Renovated Barn Project

Rachel Moore Design Ltd

We were approached by our client to design this barn conversion in Byley, Cheshire. It had been renovated by a private property developer and at the time of handover our client was keen to then create a home. Our client was a business man with little time available, he was keen for RMD to design and manage the whole process. We designed a scheme that was impressive yet welcoming and homely, one that whilst having a contemporary edge still worked in harmony with its rural surrounding. We suggested painting the woodwork throughout the property in a soft warm grey this was to replaced the existing harsh yellow oak and pine finishes throughout. In the sitting room we also took out the storage cupboards and clad the whole TV wall with an air slate to add a contemporary yet natural feel. This not only unified the space but also created a stunning focal point that differed from a media wall. In the master bedroom we used a stunning wood veneer wall covering which reflected beautiful soft teal and grey tones. A floor to ceiling fluted panel was installed behind the bed to create an impressive focal point. In the kitchen and family room we used a dark navy / grey wallcovering on the central TV wall to echo the kitchen colour. An inviting mix of linens, bronze, leather, soft woods and brass elements created a layered palette of colour and texture. We custom designed many elements throughout the project. This included the wrap around shelving unit in the family Kitchen. This added interest when looking across from the kitchen. As the house is open plan when the barn style doors are back, we were mindful of the colour palette and style working across all the rooms on the first floor. We designed a fully upholstered bench seat that sat underneath a triptyque of art pieces that work as stand alone pieces and as three when viewed across from the living room into the kitchen / dining room. When the developer handed over the property to our client the kitchen was already chosen however we were able to help our client with worktop choices. We used the deep navy colour of the kitchen to inspire the colour scheme downstairs and added hints of rust to lift the palette. Above the dining table we fitted a fitting made up from a collection of simple lit black rods, we were keen to create a wonderful vista when looking through to the area from three areas : Outside from the drive way, from the hallway upon entering the house and from the picture window leading to the garden. Throughout the whole design we carefully considered the views from all areas of the house.

Browse Baby Room Ideas on Houzz

Planning a nursery is an exciting time for parents, but it can be confusing without the right guidance. Houzz is a great place to start, as you can browse our extensive image gallery of nursery designs, as well as find qualified Kids & Nursery Designers who can help make your ideas a reality. We’ve put together some handy tips so you can get inspired and plan the baby room of your dreams.

Which Essential Elements Should a Contemporary Baby Room Have?

When browsing through pictures of contemporary nurseries on Houzz, you’ll notice a common theme: They usually all include similar pieces of furniture and decor. You can’t go past a cot, changing table and a dresser. Whatever you’re after, you’ll be sure to find something for your taste, even if you’re limited by a small space or need to make it work on a budget. Another aspect to remember is practicality. You want to make sure you have enough storage so you can have a clutter (and trip-hazard!) free space, and you want to have everything within easy reach when it comes to changing nappies so you don’t risk your baby rolling off the change table while you turn around reaching for the baby wipes. Think about practical furniture: closets without doors, open shelves and furniture and walls that are easy to clean should be your go-to’s.

Decorating and Choosing the Right Colour

Choosing colours is a big one. These days, you’re not limited to blue for a baby boy or pink for a baby girl - a lot of nurseries are actually held gender-neutral and you may be decorating without knowing the gender. Unisex colours are on the rise, as well as feature walls with inspirational artwork and themes that encourage exploration. The possibilities are endless - whether you go for a travel theme with clouds, a nature environment with mountains and trees, or animals like elephants or owls to tell your little one good night, you’ll be able to find wallpapers, decals and decorations to suit. Also consider a nice, soft rug for when your baby starts crawling.

A Cosy Room can Promote Better Sleep

Being able to create nighttime-like darkness, peace and quiet at anytime of day could be something you’ll be thankful for later if your baby doesn’t want to go to sleep when it’s bright and guests are around, so think about lighting and soundproofing. A pair of heavy curtains could do the trick, and if you add a cute nightlight you can evoke an even more peaceful mood. The temperature and humidity of the room can also be major factors when it comes to sleeptime - too hot, too cold, too humid or dry? Make sure you can easily regulate the room temperature and have warm blankets handy in winter. You may also want to invest in a dehumidifier or vaporiser - these may earn extra points for white noise, too!

Planning for the Future

Keep in mind that a baby will not be a baby room for long - they grow fast! Depending on how long you keep your baby with you, you may not even have a separate room and directly jump to sharing with their sibling. Keep in mind that you may be planning for a more grown-up kids room soon, and your baby doesn’t really care about the decor of the room as much as you do. Choose items you like and go for furniture that you’ll be able to move to different rooms later if you can.
