A young couple's flat, built around art, sport and colour.
Our clients collect art and live an active weekend life, and wanted a home that could hold both without feeling cluttered. We kept the shell calm — white walls, warm oak joinery, soft grey ceiling lines — then let a gallery wall, a cobalt acrylic cabinet and a snowboard rack bring the personality in.
Character over neutrals.
Rather than design the art and furniture around, we designed the room to frame them. A sculptural black dining table and cream sofa hold the centre; a gallery of paintings and a translucent blue storage block do the rest. Warm oak wall panelling ties the dining nook back to the wardrobe joinery down the hall, so the whole home reads as one considered palette.
Small footprint, real cooking.
A tight galley kitchen was rebuilt in matte white lacquer with a dark stone-effect counter, keeping every inch usable without feeling clinical.
A daybed and desk built into one bay.
The bedroom's window bay became a raised oak daybed with concealed storage beneath — a reading spot by day, extra sleeping space when needed. A cantilevered desk runs off the same joinery into the next room, giving a work-from-home corner without a single wasted centimetre.
A calm shell, bold accents.
"It finally looks like us. Every piece we love has a place, and it still feels put together."
