New Home Interior Design, Mickleover, Derbyshire
The Brief
Buying a new home for the first time is a daunting as it is exciting – so many decisions to make! This is what we did to help our client along the way when she purchased a new home off-plan in Derbyshire.
The Design
Living Room
This airy south-facing room boasts a generous L-shaped sofa balanced by two occasional comfy armchairs made by F&M Steed covered in velvet. Windows are treated with wave-headed curtains and Venetian blinds – while the curtains add fabric for that cosy feel, Venetians are a cost effective and practical way to balance privacy with light.
Open Plan Kitchen Dining Room Design
If you’ve ever bought a house ‘off plan’ before, you’ll know the bewildering number of decisions that need to be made for everything from floor, tile and lighting to Kitchen cabinetry, worktops and appliances. We spent a couple of hours in the showroom putting the different options together until our client was happy that all of her choices hung together as a cohesive plan.
We had a kitchen dining island installed aftermarket, both increasing storage and worktop space and making it a welcoming place for entertaining. All of the furniture in this part of the house is from Danetti including the bar stools and chairs in this attractive champagne velvet, along with a white ceramic-topped dining table.
This fabulous geometric print makes for a lovely pelmet in the kitchen (again in combination with a Venetian blind), and works just as well in the wave-headed curtain in the Dining Area. All of the above have been made and installed by Lynne Kelly Curtains Ltd.



Study
We are designing lots of Studies at the moment, and the smallest room of this house makes the perfect space for one. We’ve introduced a touch of teal with this office chair from Danetti and paired with a blue corner desk from made.com. A decorative pelmet is paired with a practical taped Venetian blind to complete the look.
Bedrooms
All of the bedrooms have been fitted out with storage beds custom made by F&M Steed.
Window treatments are a combination of curtains, and/or upholstered pelmets in conjunction with Venetian blinds courtesy of Lynne Kelly Curtains Ltd. The most striking, perhaps, the bed with fluted headboard covered in a textured Clarke & Clarke velvet and a pelmet covered in this great Fryett’s fabric in the grey colourway.

I would highly recommend her to anyone.
