The generous entrance area was updated with doors removed, a new opening created and walls shifted. (Stealing 40cm from the entrance and gifting it to the kitchen!) We then changed the hinged cupboard doors (that opened over the hallway door?) to practical sliders in the same style as the new kitchen and living room cabinetry. Stunning Cole & Son wallpaper with a trompe l’oeil effect was used to add pattern and life to the entrance. The homeowners large gilt mirror sits perfectly above a custom made narrow brass and iron console table. I antiqued the brass top myself. A lovely black and brass umbrella stand by CC Interiors sits by the front door holding umbrellas and beautiful ornate walking sticks. This matches the planter on the shelves in the lounge. (Repetition creates a harmonious atmosphere.)

Next week we look at the stunning new kitchen!….
