BRAMCOTE DRIVE
THE BRIEF: My client wanted a light and bright room with ethically sourced furniture, and products that they could can try before they buy.
THE ROOM: Cold and dark, this room hadn’t been decorated in over 15 years so was due some love and attention to make it feel new again. The suspended floor and patio doors were drafty so it was important to my client that these were replaced.
COLOUR: Colour was really important to my client and during the Colour Consultation & Survey, it became apparent what type of colours they were really drawn to. As summer people, their colours were of a mediterranean style, and they loved the colour yellow and blue.
THE DESIGN: With lots of careful planning, and assessing the best way in which to work the space, the furniture plan subdivided the room so to allow space around the furniture. The room was long and narrow so I added vertical lines with the cladding, vertical radiator and floor to ceiling curtains so to make the room feel taller. By colour blocking the far wall, I was able to inject colour and warmth without the room feeling dark. We fitted the floor on an angle so to offset the room, and to draw the eye to the furthest corners of the room to make it feel bigger.

“Everything works together so well. Sarah’s knowledge and expertise have proved invaluable. We could not have done it without her. Her knowledge and confidence meant she could clearly communicate her vision and needs to all the tradespeople.
Sarah put together an expert team who all worked well together and to a very high standard. They were all very pleasant to have in the house and they always left everything as tidy as possible.”
“Sarah always responded quickly to any communications and questions. Her attention to detail was faultless. She gave us clear timelines at all times.
Our friends are amazed by the transformation. We have had comments about how well the furniture fits in the room, size and style. The finish is superb.”

INSTALLATION
WINDOWS: One major change in the room, which has really made a huge impact to the space, is the bi-fold doors. The patio doors before were wooden and narrow, and set down quite low into the room. My client’s garden was such a delightful space to be in, that it felt really important to connect the two spaces together, so that friends and family can spill out on to the decking on summers evening and enjoy being inside and outside at the same time.
“ Sarah listened carefully to our ideas and vision. In particular our desire for a bright, warm, inviting, multi-functional space. She immediately made suggestions that had not occurred to us. This included simple things like changing the orientation of the door.
Sarah’s design came with a number of furniture and product recommendations which have proved to be well thought out and fit the space perfectly. We love spending time in the room now and have had many compliments from friends”
