OPEN PLAN DESIGN WITH CUSTOMISED DETAILING

In this sophisticated open-plan design in Balsall Common, UK, we transformed an existing architectural blueprint with numerous tailored interventions, redefining the aesthetic and functional aspects of the house. Our contributions spanned lighting and electrical planning, material selection, and custom furniture design, creating an inviting, versatile, and cohesive space.

Architectural Modifications and Lighting Design

The client provided the architectural design framework we meticulously enhanced to maximise functionality and ambience. We redesigned the lighting and electrical layouts to align with our proposed plan, incorporating features like ceiling niches for curtains and soft, indirect lighting. These design adjustments were implemented during construction, elevating the overall atmosphere.

Material Selection for Flooring, Kitchen, and Living Spaces

Throughout the project, we guided the client in choosing materials that harmonise with the home’s contemporary aesthetic. Our advice encompassed flooring, kitchen surfaces, and additional elements, ensuring a high-quality, cohesive look that enhances comfort and visual appeal.

Seamless Transitions and Flexible Space with Pocket Doors

We suggested sliding pocket doors to promote fluid movement between the living, cinema, and games areas. This design choice expands circulation space and allows for adaptable interactions between rooms—offering the flexibility to open up for social gatherings or close off spaces for privacy and focused activities.

Bespoke Furniture and Multifunctional Elements

In the kitchen and living area, bespoke furniture defines the space. We designed a custom slim TV media wall, a versatile ottoman serving as a coffee table and additional seating, and other functional pieces tailored to our client’s lifestyle. In the games area, we crafted custom furniture to display and organise accessories for the pool table and slatted panels with indirect lighting to highlight the gallery. A bespoke storage unit accommodates electronics and displays decorative items, while bean bags and an upholstered coffee table with a mobile tabletop offer flexible, multifunctional options.

A Harmonious, Timeless Aesthetic

The interior design embraces a neutral colour scheme, with layers of texture creating an elegant and welcoming ambience. Each piece—from cabinetry to soft furnishings and decorative accents—contributes to a timeless, cohesive environment that reflects the client’s vision of a stylish and functional home. This open-plan layout in Balsall Common exemplifies thoughtful design, offering spaces that balance relaxation, entertainment, and everyday living in harmony.
