CONTEMPORARY HOUSE INTERIOR DESIGN, ROMSEY

INTERIOR DESIGN

This contemporary styled house needed a big injection of colour, character and fun to decorate the enormous rooms. Large scale creativity was called for! The double-height sitting room with galleried walkway has impressive views over the landscaped gardens, however natural light from the picture windows needed filtering to protect the interior from harsh solar fading and heat gain.

The solution was for futuristic, metallic sheer curtains on electric tracks spanning the full rooms height, The huge wall expanse also needed a subtle but effective covering to give warmth & texture without overpowering the room and its outlook. A soft but oversized explosive design was chosen to echo the rounded shapes of the furniture and a pearlised finish to maintain the sunny aspect.

Additionally, interesting feature lighting was essential to give more atmosphere and a layered look for both day & nighttime use. Bold graphic artworks, a specially commissioned sculptural sideboard and comfortable designer furniture give the area ‘pops’ of colour and shape. The collection is gradually being added to as the project continues towards completion.

At the opposite end under the gallery area, a contrasting decorative scheme was designed to accommodate the piano away from the sun’s intensity. The eclectic mix of modern & classic furniture here creates a totally different feel and function within the open-plan space.

A separate music & games room is accessed via the lounge. This was treated to a textile wall covering in a deep but reflective/metallic finish to provide an alternative atmosphere and a dramatic backdrop to the ‘vinyl’ art, guitars and custom-painted petrol pump, refitted as a feature light!

We assisted the owners in sourcing, supplying and implementing the designs where needed.
