BAR / GAMES ROOM
The design team focused on creating an unforgettable social space in this room , choosing an alternative style that would stand out from the rest of the house .
Transporting the family and their guests from day-to-day life to a spectacular destination , a bespoke bar designed by the lead designer and pink and royal blue booth seating placed against a backdrop of floral wallpaper adding tones of green , ensure eccentric flair . Green velvet bar stools tie in with the wallpaper and a pink oversized neon light adorns this wall space , ensuring plenty of wow factor . Eight individual ceiling pendant lights on brass fittings drop down over the bar , creating evening light that replicates the ambience of a cosmopolitan venue .
ENTRANCE HALL
Designed to make a stunning first impression , the entrance hall features neutral colours and bespoke pieces to create a bold statement . White marble flooring with a striking black border , designed by Andrew Henry Interiors , frames the space and a multi pendant mesh steel feature light by designer Arturo Alvarez adds further interest and grandeur to the entrance . The stairs and balustrades were stained to match the wood flooring throughout the house and hand painted silk wallpaper was sourced from China , subtly introducing visitors to the oriental references that run through the home .
Jessica Robins Senior interior designer at Andrew Henry Interiors , comments “ We ’ ve created a space that would make a lasting impression on visitors whilst providing a comfortable , practical home for everyday living . Surprise and dramatic contrast define each space and create a journey of discovery throughout the property and the richness of our designs are also influenced by the property ’ s historic surroundings . Situated within the exclusive Wildernesse Estate , with a former stately home dating back to 1705 as its centrepiece , we wanted to ensure that this stunning new property also complimented the setting and surroundings .
