By The Design Co
Not all our projects encompass the whole home – sometimes people are looking for ways to freshen an interior without starting completely from scratch. In this Seatoun home the brief was to include some fun statement wallpaper in several rooms while co-ordinating with the existing furnishings. The addition of a Cole & Son “undersea” wallpaper in the guest bathroom transformed it from ordinary to wow! The orange fish follow through to the family room that doubles as a crash pad for teenagers. The David Shaw divan style sofa makes a comfortable bed even for the tallest of guests and the fun houndstooth ottoman keeps the style modern and edgy.
The bedroom feature wallpaper (also Cole & Son) was chosen for a luxurious look to compliment the clients own bed linen. Bedside tables in aged charcoal and silver from Le Forge carry on the lived-in look and provide practical storage.
Fresh Dragonfly’s from Scion Wallcoverings add fun, movement and interest a teen daughters room without changing the white and charcoal theme.
This modern home features a long narrow entrance from the front door to the living areas and a bespoke runner from Designer Rugs fitted the clients wish for something dramatic yet practical. A change in colour and scale from the original design meant that they now have a beautiful art work to walk on every day!
