Hill House Interiors completely transformed the clients home with clever design ideas . Stepping into the home , the high-ceilinged hallway immediately feels bright , airy and modern – a far cry from the tired , beige interiors that originally adorned the space . The traditional stone mantel fireplace and under stairs cupboard was removed in the Entrance Hall and replaced with a stunning glass balustrade and cleverly lit stair treads creating a soft glow . Cream porcelain floors were replaced with a beautiful greige herringbone timber design throughout the ground floor and traditional panelled oak doors were removed and replaced with a contrast darker door and handles to suit , with the surrounding alcoves heightened to give an added sense of grandeur .
The large drawing room , with herringbone timber flooring is a subtle contrast to , and enhances , the monochrome colour palette . With a scheme crafted around a wild piece of artwork Fran sourced herself from Andrew Martin , the room is both welcoming and intriguing . With a large U-shaped sofa , decorated with stunning textured cushions , stylish animal prints , intricate contrast braid details and a sumptuous fur throw , it creates the ultimate entertaining space .
The bespoke crystal chandelier , with its ’ timeless design , hangs central to the Living room , balancing the light with its classic proportions and creates a warm glowing presence that makes the room feel even more inviting . The French doors are beautifully dressed with handmade curtains in a textured neutral fabric with a stunning Samuel & Sons contrast monochrome trim applied to the leading edges , complimenting the space and design scheme beautifully .
Jenny Weiss , co-founder of Hill House Interiors comments ; “ This is a traditional house with a thoroughly modern interior . One of my favourite rooms is the Dining Room off the hallway . The bespoke luxury bar unit we created , with integrated wine coolers , brushed brass metal inlays and intricate design details , immediately draws your eye to the bespoke “ Eat , Drink , Laugh ” neon light we designed and is a focal point of this entertainment area in the heart of the home . It adds a bit of fun and personality to the space and is most definitely a talking point when the client is entertaining guests . Sleek and ultrasophisticated , this Dining Room is truly a memorable space .”
