Drawing Room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first floor of this Georgian town house project is dedicated to a drawing room space for entertaining and a study to work quietly in, at the back of the house.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drawing room at the front of the house is a room dedicated to entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After laying a reclaimed wood floor, the room was painted In Hague Blue by Farrow & Ball. This\u00a0timeless, deep and dramatic blue\u00a0has green undertones and works well in any size room. The ceilings, windows, cornices and rose were painted in School House White.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0sofas, rug, and coffee tables were pieces from Roche Bobois. We\u00a0also added an\u00a0antique brass and glass\u00a0Soho Cinema side table from Soho Home\u00a0with a Noah buttoned armchairs in Artisan Weave in Sourdough from Love Your Home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The wall lights and chandelier were from by Tigermoth Lighting and the\u00a0picture light from Circa Lighting. The\u00a0Skylar floor lamp\u00a0is by Castro Lighting by Olson & Baker \u2013 a stunning\u00a0glass and brass statement piece that sits beside the\u00a0bespoke DJ sideboard made by John Jacques of Radiance Furniture, was designed by John\u00a0Jacques and\u00a0Clair Strong Interior Design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Above the DJ sideboard sit a\u00a0set of 12 mirrors in antiqued mirror glass from The Looking Glass of Bath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alcoves either side of the fireplace were made into two drinks cabinets. We commissioned a bespoke piece of artwork from\u00a0Catarina Diaz, a\u00a0Portuguese artist based in London.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Study<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The study was painted in a combination of neutrals from Farrow and Ball \u2013 Bone, Shadow White and School House White.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We used the clients existing leopard skin rug and lacquered cabinets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The desk is the Eden Rock desk in dark cherry from Roche Bobois.\u00a0Designed by\u00a0Sacha Laki<\/strong>c, the\u00a0desk mixes references to Louis XVI style and post-war American industrial design. The top is upholstered in a gold faux leather and conceals a storage drawer, while the detailing in brushed brass elegantly highlights the lines of this piece.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We added a classic Eames Lobby Chair in chocolate leather. The armchair was originally designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1960 to furnish lobby areas in New York’s Time Life Building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Bert Frank Glaive desk lamp is inspired by the glamour of the 1930\u2019s. The geometric form of the fine bone china washes its surroundings with its warm light when it is turned on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first floor\u2019s elegant rooms with high ceilings and large undressed windows now provide this client with a glamorous yet functional space.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
