The hallway leads into a reception room overlooking the street. Two Cristol tiered chandeliers by Aerin from Circa Lighting added old-world glamour and contemporary design to the space. The hand-blown stri\u00e9 glass globes and sculptural, modern fixtures in antique brass bounce light around the high ceilings beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reception room was designed to be a bright contemporary room for the family to hang out in. It had been knocked through into an open plan space, but we reinstalled the dividing wall to create a reception room at the front separated from the gym at the back by wedding doors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The client chose an L-shaped sofa and cushions from Roche Bobois, along with a cocktail table and cinema side table. The Hepworth armchair from Love Your Home, with its soft curves, added a modern touch. The Matsuri Kenzo blue rug was also from Roche Bobois.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The rooms were painted in a palette of Farrow & Ball neutral colours including Bone, School House White and Shadow White. The spindles on the staircase in the hallway were painted in Railings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We commissioned bespoke Oriental style lacquered cabinets which were spray painted in Little Greene\u2019s Basalt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bespoke artwork by Adam Ellis studio was commissioned to fit in the alcoves above the cabinets. Adam Ellis Studio is a London based fine art and design practice experienced in creating unique and vibrant interiors for hospitality and private spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Rote Brass pendant ceiling light was from Bert Frank. This geometric shade in contrasting slatted diamond plates of brass and black diffuses a dual-sided light into the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pair of Aureol wall lights in bronze with navy silk shades were from Tigermoth Lighting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Elona table lamps in brass with a black iron base were from Pooky Lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The little ground floor WC was tiled in Mimica Bianco Ravenna Gold Matt Porcelain from Mandarin Stone and painted in Card Room Green by Farrow & Ball. The basin and fittings were from Catchpole and Rye. The Otto mirror in brass is from Graham & Green. The Calliope hand rubbed antique brass light is from Circa Lighting (Visual Comfort & Co).<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the garden area, we replaced some flagstones and had bespoke timber planters made. The outside furniture was from Vincent Sheppard and Coco Wolf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ground floor now provides a fabulous relaxed entertaining space and gym for my sociable client.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The ground floor of this 5 story Georgian house was designed for socialising and entertaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5949,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[328],"tags":[353,343,30,352],"class_list":["post-5944","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-clairs-projects","tag-bespoke","tag-georgian-house","tag-interior-design","tag-reception-room"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
