DINING AREA

Bespoke furniture was worth investing in, say the owners. It caters for their needs and makes the home unique. Materials with an organic look bring luxury.

LIVING AREA

Only one half of the room had original ceiling mouldings, so perfectly matched copies were done for the rest of the space.

RAISE THE BAR

A custom bar area helps to set the tone and atmosphere when entertaining by allowing guests to congregate in one area and connect with each other. In this project designed by US design studio Alana Marie Interiors, the custom walnut bar also doubles as a privacy screen, helping to zone the space in a practical and elegant way. The slatted panels create beautiful storage nooks for glassware and bar accessories, demonstrating how form and function can be seamlessly integrated.
