Lynsey ’ s home-studio with new custom built-in kitchen offers a beautiful take of the grey colour palette , which is brought to life by the rich Renzo furniture , natural stone flooring and mid-century modern steel framed doors on entry . To emphasise the vertical lines , Daval chose to include a series of floor-to-ceiling storage cupboards , which enhance the interior elevations of the space by naturally drawing the eye upwards . By design , Daval has created a designated storage wall that cleverly conceals the bijoux kitchen so that Lynsey , can concentrate on design generation and client consultation with every necessity to hand .
Simon Bodsworth , Managing Director at Daval Furniture says , “ We are delighted to collaborate with Lynsey once again following the successful installation for a luxury family suite at the boutique hotel Another Place on Ullswater . As the 2021 winner of BBC Two ’ s Interior Design Masters , Lynsey is renowned for bringing her fresh , contemporary style to a project with a focus on sustainability and so our award-winning Renzo furniture was a natural choice . As it is made from 100 % per cent recycled materials , it meets her high standards for sustainable solutions . Lynsey is based in the next village from our factory , and it was a privilege to be invited into her home studio and assist in creating a flexible workplace to enhance her flourishing business .”
James Bodsworth , Design Director at Daval Furniture says , “ We are seeing new levels of creativity following the rise in homeoffice lifestyles and this has placed new emphasis on hybrid interior design , which is functional yet informal . Fitted furniture is key to supporting a custom home environment like Lynsey ’ s home-studio , able to create a relaxed yet professional environment that is not out of place in a residential environment .
I believe that custom fitted furniture not only serves a practical purpose , but it also enhances the look and feel of the room by complementing a range of colours , materials finishes and textures . As the trend for having a flexible home / work life continues into 2022-3 , having the ability to facilitate unique , high spec projects is going to become an integral part of the consumer wish-list moving forwards .”
