See How This Family Home Was Completely Rebuilt

Our clients wanted a spacious and grand hallway, and they were keen that this wasn't taken up by the staircase, so we hid that around the corner. It means you can appreciate the view into the dining room and garden – the view to the back is beautiful thanks to the golf course directly behind. We chose a classic spindle design, so the rest of the spaces had an opportunity to shine. Lime-washed walls give it a slightly rustic, old world feel, and we kept some family heirlooms, including a small brass mirror that belonged to the client's grandmother.

My clients love cooking, entertaining and spending a lot of time in the kitchen, so this was a crucial part of the house. We were keen to add character with a traditional framed door, taking the coving around the top of the cabinetry, while balancing this out with the handleless island. The hidden pantry is a special feature, so our clients could hide away any preparation mess when hosting dinner parties. The tiles work hard in this busy family space – the neutral colour palette is a great backdrop to the stunning calacatta viola on the work surfaces and backsplash, while the dramatic pendants add to the Parisian influence of the property.

Next to the dining area and just off the kitchen, we brought the deep red veining of the calacatta viola into the bespoke sofa – playfully adding soft upholstered balls instead of cushions. Our clients had always wanted a big U-shaped sofa, and we were lucky enough to work with Studio Lawrence on two bespoke pieces of art.

The downstairs cloakroom is always an opportunity to create a 'wow' moment for guests, so that was our intention with the handcrafted wall-to-wall calacatta viola basin. We wanted the space to feel a little bit moodier, so we brought in the pitted tadelakt on the walls in a rich brown. We also added a 'Press for Glam' automated light switch to turn on brighter overhead lights.

We created the traditional coffered ceiling to add depth, dimension and a sense of architectural elegance to the room – formal living rooms can often be neglected, so we wanted to make sure this wasn't the case. Colour drenching created a peaceful, grown-up space for pre-dinner entertaining. The wall sconces are the only source of lighting in the room. We didn't want to ruin the ceiling by adding lots of down lights, so the sconces provide a soft yet elegant glow.

This generously proportioned room has beautiful views out over the garden, so we brought the outside influence in by incorporating an emperor-sized mossy green velvet upholstered bed. A bespoke 'secret door' to the left of the bed into the walk-in wardrobe was plastered in and painted to match the wall colour, which enabled us to centre the bed and give the illusion that it was hidden.

Our clients wanted a tranquil spa-like bathroom, where they could have a moment to escape from the hustle and bustle of family life. We brought the warmth of calacatta oro in through the bespoke vanity, skirting and around the shower, which also gives it a sense of luxury.

The perfect working-from-home set-up, the study is on the second floor with views over the golf course. The light was abundant, so we could afford to drench the room in this warm taupe.

This room needed to be somewhere our clients would want to watch back-to-back movies. We achieved that by colour washing the room in a deep purple. The bespoke U-shaped sofa takes up most of the floor space  – in fact, it was so tight to the walls, our upholsterer had to build the framework on site prior to upholstering it.
