Tacolneston Barn Conversion

Contemporary Living Room

This open plan barn conversion was bright and airy but lacked a focal point and the kitchen, dining and living zones were not working as one. We designed and built a bespoke display cabinet around the wood burning stove and used a dark navy paint to change the proportions of the wood burner, which originally looked too small for such a large space with high ceilings. The shelving unit and wall colour takes the eye upwards to the amazing vaulted ceiling and the blue continues as an accent colour throughout the room, touches of copper bring in a contemporary feel and textures such as wood and fur give warmth and a cosy feel to the space.
