Balancing heritage features & renovation

How do you balance luxury, functionality, and historical preservation? By understanding the original design and then meticulously designing every detail.
In this locally listed home that we worked on with our clients, a young family, we created an inviting open plan living and dining room where we balanced contemporary minimalism with classical elements, creating a space that feels both curated and comfortable. We’ve blended original features with custom cabinetry and contemporary furniture. From bespoke shelves to carefully chosen cornicing, skirting and a ‘colour drenched’ paint design scheme the space is tailored to our client’s lifestyle and personal style. Light oak herringbone flooring lends texture, while the oversized floor lamp brings a playful modern edge.
Whether it’s curling up with a book or entertaining guests, every detail has been considered to create a home that is uniquely their own for our clients.

🔑 Design Tip: When working with period properties, prioritise materials and finishes that complement the original architecture. For example, choose a rich colour palette or classic detailing to honour the heritage while seamlessly integrating modern elements for everyday living.
