THE CLIENT BRIEF WAS TO CREATE A SCHEME THAT MAXIMISED THE USE OF A CHALLENGING LIVING ROOM LAYOUT. THE SPACE WAS COMPROMISED BY MULTIPLE ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS: ONE WALL WITH TWO WINDOWS, ANOTHER WITH TWO DOORWAYS, A FEATURE WALL WITH A FIREPLACE AND TWIN ALCOVES WITH FITTED CABINETRY, AND A FOURTH WALL OCCUPIED BY A RADIATOR. THE DESIGN FOCUSED ON IMPROVING FLOW, BALANCE, AND FUNCTIONALITY WHILE MAKING THE ROOM FEEL COHESIVE AND INVITING.

THE CLIENT REQUESTED A RELAXED, COMFORTABLE LIVING SPACE CENTRED AROUND A GENEROUS, COMFORTABLE SOFA SUITABLE FOR WATCHING FILMS, READING, GAMING, AND EVERYDAY LOUNGING. THE INTENTION WAS TO AVOID A FORMAL FEEL AND INSTEAD CREATE A WARM, COSY ATMOSPHERE. EXISTING ARTWORK AND COFFEE TABLE BOOKS WERE INCORPORATED INTO THE SCHEME, ALONGSIDE A CLIENT-SELECTED WALLPAPER. THE COLOUR PALETTE WAS DEVELOPED AROUND RICH, EARTHY TONES, INCLUDING SHADES OF ORANGE, BROWN, GREEN, AND DEEP RED.
