This exquisite and romantically inspired bathroom design was extremely successful. The client's property, a lavish Edwardian house situated high in the Surrey Hills, was worthy of the generous budget assigned to the project. The chocolate ceramic wall tiles interspersed with polished chrome strip and dark wood furniture offset against the contrasting white enamel of the basin, was inspired by Zen imagery from the Middle East.

The chocolate ceramic wall tiles interspersed with polished chrome strip looked striking against the contrasting white enamel of the modern free-standing bath and floor-mounted 'Waterfall' tap. The bath was illuminated from beneath by floor lights to set the atmosphere in the evenings.

The chocolate ceramic wall tiles interspersed with polished chrome strip looked striking against the contrasting white enamel of the modern suite and dark wooden vanity unit. The room was effectively accessorised with chrome brassware, glass lanterns, white coral and red roses.

The master bedroom of this exclusive home in Burwood Park, Weybridge had a calm and tranquil atmosphere. The choice of fabrics and colours reflected this to ensure a serene bedroom design. In contrast to this, the brass bed frame and flowed wallpaper by 'Today's Interiors' gave the room a focal point from which all else spiralled with ease and grace.

The Old Rectory was remodelled in 2003. My client wanted to keep most elements of the house, as it dated back to the mid 16th century and is reported to be the second oldest house in Richmond. The bathroom as you see it now was originally a bedroom, which was later converted to a utilitarian bathroom in avocado. Not exactly an interior designer's dream...
We had brought the mirror from a previous property that I had designed and used as the inspiration for the new scheme. I wanted to create a luxurious contemporary bathroom within this listed building, which meant incorporating the panelled walls, one of which I used to house a wet screen - a relatively new option, along with the LEDS in the floor. These are entirely safe, cool to touch and with a lovely warm glow, bringing a relaxed ambience to bathing.
The marble tiles - a special order - were set diagonally and laid on underfloor heating. Both the vanity unit and wardrobes were timber with painted frames and mirrored back panels, and the same marble as the floor tiles was used on the counter top.
I couldn't resist the contemporary candle scones - candlelight is positively magical and in perfect harmony with the integrated B&O system that filtered through the entire house.

A secret panel housed the wet screen to entertain the mind, whilst the modern romantic design was, in itself, an entertainment to the spirit.

This Guest bedroom was one of many for this Period property in exclusive Esher in Surrey. The sloping ceiling and intimate proportions, made the room feel cosy and welcoming to its visitors. Feminine hues of cream and Duck Egg blue and a mixture of fabrics were used to add warmth and depth to the otherwise understated design. The half tester above the bed envelops the headboard and pillows like curtaining. The painted bedside tables, crystal lamps and dainty French chair all help characterise the elegant design.

The master bedroom suite at The Old Coach House in Surrey was created to provide the client with a space to truly unwind. Warm creamy hues were accented by deep turquoise and gold accessories and texture was added through rich embroidered silk. Porta Romana wall lights surrounded the dressing table whilst antique French chairs were positioned cosily together.

The guest suite at The Old Coach House in Surrey evoked a nautical feel and was inspired by the client's love of sailing. Furniture designer Frank Hudson, supplied the deep mahogany sleigh bed and matching furniture whilst the bedding was sourced from a Classic Collection by Ralph Lauren Home. Paisley print and striped fabrics were chosen to echo the oriental style blue and white lamps and added soft yet dominant elements to the scheme.

As interior designers in Surrey and London, we were delighted to have been asked to assist this successful local business man and advisor to the House of commons. We wanted to create something entirely appropriate to his sophisticated and elegant lifestyle. The Master Bedroom was equipped with en-suite, steam room and separate dressing room. The Vermicelli quilting bedcover in Manuel Canovas silk was custom-made to fit the King-size vi-sprung bed. The walls were adorned with large damask print wallpaper by Osbourne & Little.
Project info
The client's personal treasures have been sympathetically intigrated into the scheme. This urn was bought during a trip to New Zealand and was handcrafted from the wood of the Macrocarpa tree. The elegant and sophisticated design of this bedroom has been given a modern edge with an injection of fuchsia and silver tones. The opulent fabrics and stylish seating create an intimate area within the room to sit and relax.

A striking mannequin is playfully used to display ethnically inspired pieces of jewellery and adornment, collected by the client on her worldwide travels. Resting alongside is a bespoke armoire which was purposefully customised by April Hamilton's Senior designer to house the TV and provide that 'ever sought after' extra storage.

This contemporary yet classical interior designed bathroom was remodelled in the spring of 2000 and yet remains a favourite among many clients and potential clients alike. It is balanced footprint, allowing the beautiful symmetry of the design to be fully appreciated. The ladies and gentlemen’s vanity units are over 4 metres either side, allowing ample storage with a mixture of drawer and cupboard space, which leads effortlessly into the walk in dressing rooms. The painted timber frames facilitates a seamless length of crème corian with underslung porcelain basins and traditional cross head monobloc taps by Lefroy Brookes. The double shower and spacious Jacuzzi bath sit majestically centre stage, whilst the backdrop of integrated Lutron lighting and audio visual system fully supports the luxurious experience of bathing… An interior designers dream realised.
