View showing the double storey entry hall with a rounded staircase and double door entry through to the kitchen. The wood flooring with grey wide planks, shiplap cladded walls and bronze wall lights give a crisp contemporary edge but enough texture and warmth to keep it feeling cosy and casual. For the space under the stairs we put in a grey wood table and stone table lamp with some beachy accents. And for the nook on the right we put in an antique Swedish bench (handy storage inside) with bronze wall lights framing it. The big lantern hanging from the storey above anchors and frames the space.
