A large family home in a quiet city street has undergone a gentle refurbishment in stages. A new calm environment was achieved by equal distribution of colour and pattern using trompe l’oeil and visual movement in the master bedroom. Elsewhere favourite traditional mirrors and rugs have been blended into the new sophisticated scheme by using neutrals, greys and highly stylized furniture, lighting and limestone. State of the art technology is exhibited in the media room and the bespoke fire in the sitting room.
