This stunning staircase combines modern monochrome style with timeless elegance. A herringbone-patterned grey runner with bold black edging creates a striking focal point against crisp white steps, while geometric black metal spindles bring an architectural touch to the balustrade. Overhead, a dramatic multi-globe chandelier enhances the space with contemporary glamour, perfectly complementing the clean white walls and light-filled entryway. The design flows seamlessly into the hallway below, where elegant seating and statement decor complete this welcoming home entrance.

We’re beyond excited to share these incredible photos that beautifully highlight our Victorian tiles in a stunning period property.
The talented team at Kerv Interiors worked their magic, keeping the charm of the classic features while breathing new life into the space with bold patterns, rich colours, and varied textures.
The original character of the property shines through, but there’s a fresh twist that makes everything feel so much more vibrant and alive. From the intricate tile work to the thoughtfully chosen decor, every detail has been carefully considered and tastefully executed.
A massive thank you to Kerv Interiors for their vision and expertise in bringing out the best in our tiles. We're proud to have been part of such a beautiful transformation, and we're truly grateful for the chance to collaborate on this special project.

Il progetto di affitto a breve termine di un appartamento commerciale di lusso. Cosa è stato fatto: Un progetto completo per la ricostruzione dei locali. L'edificio contiene 13 appartamenti simili. Lo spazio di un ex edificio per uffici a Milano è stato completamente riorganizzato. L'altezza del soffitto ha permesso di progettare una camera da letto con la zona TV e uno spogliatoio al livello inferiore, dove si accede da una scala graziosa. Il piano terra ha un ingresso, un ampio soggiorno, cucina e bagno. Anche la facciata dell'edificio è stata ridisegnata. Il progetto è concepito in uno stile moderno di lusso.

A contemporary take on a Victorian entrance hallway, featuring panelled walls, patterned floor tiles, a classic staircase runner and a modern black balustrade.

My client recently got in touch with me to ask for help with renovating their hallway and landing area. The project brief was for a neutral yet warm and inviting space.
As you can see, the stairs/hallway area is quite enclosed and there are no windows in the vicinity, so we decided to keep the space as light and bright and clutter-free as possible.
My client wanted a classic-contemporary style with a modern twist so of course we had to add wall panelling in the space and herringbone floors to nod to the classic look. The pond shaped mirror, pendant light and abstract art (I know it’s hidden from this view!) add that modern twist.
This is a render but the real project photos will be shared when the renovating begins!
