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.
