The Cosy Retreat
Henley on Thames
This living room transformation took a bare, new-build space and infused it with warmth, personality, and a touch of drama. The clients wanted a neutral and clean palette but also desired a sense of depth and cosiness, which we achieved by pairing classic black with soft beiges and warm rust tones. This combination added a richer aesthetic to the standard black-and-white look, while touches of gold introduced a subtle layer of luxury throughout. The large corner sofa provides the perfect cosy spot for film nights, and the flexible nesting coffee tables are ideal for hosting friends during games nights.
Key design elements elevate the room from simple to sophisticated. Bespoke joinery was designed to display the clients' favourite objects, creating a gallery effect and balancing the TV’s presence on the neutral wall. A large statement light fitting with linen and bronze materials serves as a focal point, adding a luxurious touch that ties the space together. From a bare box to an inviting, stylish retreat, this living room is now a perfect blend of comfort, flexibility, and understated elegance.
