FAMILY HOME INTERIOR DESIGN, LEICESTERSHIRE
Family Home Interior Design, Rempstone, Leicestershire
The Brief
Our clients are a professional couple with four children who wanted help designing the interior of their large home on an exclusive development in Rempstone, bought off-plan.
The Design
Kitchen Design
The kitchen was designed in collaboration with Stephen Christopher Design, accentuated by bulkheads painted in Farrow & Ball Drawing Room Blue. This beautiful German kitchen’s crowning glory is a Dekton work surface, an exceedingly durable and decorative alternative to marble, granite, quartz or Corian. A large cooking and dining island is designed for function as well as form, fitted with a Quooker boiling water tap and Bora induction hob with downward extraction, among other high end appliances.
Open Plan Design
Open plan living is such a strong trend for good reason – practicality! The way to make it work is to zone the space properly. A Today Interiors wallpaper and an area rug add a softening quality that designates this as a Sitting Room, while the lighting hung low over the dining table paired with comfy blue velvet chairs from Made make for a welcoming place to dine. The bar stools are set out in a social configuration, making a lovely spot to perch during meal preparation, and a practical place for the girls to do homework.
Master Bedroom Design
We are often asked to create bedroom designs that feel like a luxury boutique hotel room, but these clients really like colour and pattern. These wave-headed curtains fit the bill in a bold Harlequin fabric hand finished by Lynne Kelly Curtains Ltd and hung on a Silent Gliss track. We sourced this headboard and ottoman locally, having them upholstered in luxurious Warwick Velvet balanced by bedside tables from Rockett St George on either side.
Living Room Design
The formal Living Room in this home is massive, which presents a real challenge. Furniture needs to be oversized, or risk becoming lost. The use of a large area rug works well here, and the use of big bold patterns do too. A feature wall with another Harlequin wallpaper paired with the matching pattern in the curtain fabric is a playful treatment, with a crushed velvet covered pelmet to add more texture and dress the window when the curtains are open. Wood effect tile flooring supplied by Porcelanosa.
“She did an absolutely amazing job!”
“We first met Emma in June 2018 as we needed a facelift for our lounge and bedroom and were short on inspiration. She did an absolutely amazing job! She has made such a difference to our home, and allowed us to create a look that we would never have been able to achieve on our own. So much so we called on her again when we moved house in December 2019 – she designed our kitchen from scratch and again was able to pick just what we needed in the master bedroom and lounge. She has a boundless enthusiasm and energy that are infectious! Plus a real knack for understanding what it is you like. She always listened to our views, and our feedback, and acted in accordance to our wishes. She doesn’t stop until you are 100% satisfied with the finished product. I cannot recommend Emma highly enough. In fact our neighbours have now used her on our recommendation and are equally thrilled!”
