The Brief

Our clients wanted us to reimagine the interiors across all three wings, with full decorative schemes, bespoke furniture, joinery and art consultancy to all areas. This encompassed the guest and family accommodation, the substantial reception spaces, both formal and informal dining rooms, bedroom suites, bedrooms and bathrooms, games room, cinema, library pool house, guest cottage and extensive landscaped grounds.

Our design brief considered all of the decorative works, furniture, furnishings and joinery, as well as including a complete art consultancy provision for all areas of this remarkable estate project.

Joinery

The proportions of the spaces in this property meant that cabinetry was essential to give structure and purpose. The Library had an antique style dresser unit made with fluted columns and carved roses. The Games Room was also completed with a joinery wall to accommodate books, artwork and board games to create layers of character around this classical room. Further joinery was carried out in the bedrooms and study areas.
