The clients had great ideas to open up a tired, dark multi room living, kitchen, dining area to one spacious light filled space. (Very handy their son was a builder!) 4 rooms in total were combined and with life changing results. I was also lucky enough to completely refurnish the space. My only limitations were the existing black leather sofa and neutral toned curtains, which made incorporating a new desired style very easy. Looking over the different ideas they had, we incorporated the elements that would work sympathetically with their brick and cedar Avonhead home. We settled on a timeless base palette of whites and neutrals, with highlights of black and brass.

New Russian Oak flooring from Forté was chosen to run through the entire area. The wide planks, soft weathered colour and matt finish complement the interior perfectly while contrasting with the existing conservatory tiles.

Next week we look at transforming the entrance…
