DOWNSTAIRS HALLWAY
What are the central elements?
We wanted to create a hallway that didn’t just become a corridor
to connect the bedrooms, but to create something interesting
also down there. So we painted all the walls and ceiling a dark
grey and covered the walls with parts of the clients art collection
to create a gallery. With spotlights highlighting each piece of art
it creates a moody and interesting feel and also another room.
There used to be a wooden staircase with a big glass banister
linking the ground floor with the lower ground floor, which we
had carpeted in a vibrant deep purple. The glass banister we gold
leafed to give the extra sharpness and kick to the space, along
with 3 white neon tubes for the extra cool factor.
