From chimney breasts to recesses in attic bedroom eaves , practical and usable spaces were found throughout , adding function and form to this colourful redesign .
With a ceiling space of just 2350mm on the second floor , creating useable and luxuriously plush space was key in the redesign . The central playroom is kept bright and airy with white-washed walls , and a rainbow mural by local artist Hew Ma now drawing the eye as it weaves along the length of the ceiling space . The inclusion of floor cushions creates both a rich and inviting scheme , but also provides flexible seating .
Storage has been the focus throughout this project , with the family highlighting the need for flexible , hidden space as key within the initial brief . The magic of the historic houses prevalent in the West Yorkshire area , of both Victorian and Edwardian heritage , is the abundance of nooks and crannies available in which bespoke storage can be installed .
Elsewhere in the property , throughout the two new office spaces , one created in the renovated attic space and one on the ground floor , soothing tones are combined with pops of colour to invoke creativity within a traditionally functional space . Bespoke cabinetry was used to conceal the functions of everyday life , with the additions of vibrant hero items , such as the Canopy Tigerlily high backed rust chair from Southerns Broadstock in the top floor office invoking a brighter atmosphere . To accompany , the walls are adorned with Nuvolette paper from Cole & Sons creating a more muted , soft backdrop to these spaces .
Throughout this iconic northern property , the magical combination of bright , sumptuous colours and textured bespoke cabinetry , in the context of this historical house , has created a functional and yet luxurious family home , which can be grown into and enjoyed for decades to come .
