White Living Room Design Photos with Dark Hardwood Floors

The heart of the home is the reception room where deep blues from the Tyrrhenian Seas beautifully coalesce with soft whites and soupçons of antique gold under a bespoke chandelier of 1,800 hand-hung crystal droplets.

La inspiración para elegir el estilo que le íbamos a dar al apartamento fue la conexión tan directa con la terraza y toda la luz natural que lo inunda. Apostamos por colores neutros, de inspiración natural, tierras, arenas, maderas y lo contrastamos con algún toque en negro para roper la monotonía de la gama. Le dimos especial importancia a las paredes y los elementos decorativos como las láminas del sofá o los lienzos del dormitorio. Pocos elementos pero bien escogidos y que combinaran entre ellos era la clave para acertar.

Durham Road is our minimal and contemporary extension and renovation of a Victorian house in East Finchley, North London. Custom joinery hides away all the typical kitchen necessities, and an all-glass box seat will allow the owners to enjoy their garden even when the weather isn’t on their side. Despite a relatively tight budget we successfully managed to find resources for high-quality materials and finishes, underfloor heating, a custom kitchen, Domus tiles, and the modern oriel window by one finest glassworkers in town.

To dwell and establish connections with a place is a basic human necessity often combined, amongst other things, with light and is performed in association with the elements that generate it, be they natural or artificial. And in the renovation of this purpose-built first floor flat in a quiet residential street in Kennington, the use of light in its varied forms is adopted to modulate the space and create a brand new dwelling, adapted to modern living standards. From the intentionally darkened entrance lobby at the lower ground floor – as seen in Mackintosh’s Hill House – one is led to a brighter upper level where the insertion of wide pivot doors creates a flexible open plan centred around an unfinished plaster box-like pod. Kitchen and living room are connected and use a stair balustrade that doubles as a bench seat; this allows the landing to become an extension of the kitchen/dining area - rather than being merely circulation space – with a new external view towards the landscaped terrace at the rear. The attic space is converted: a modernist black box, clad in natural slate tiles and with a wide sliding window, is inserted in the rear roof slope to accommodate a bedroom and a bathroom. A new relationship can eventually be established with all new and existing exterior openings, now visible from the former landing space: traditional timber sash windows are re-introduced to replace unsightly UPVC frames, and skylights are put in to direct one’s view outwards and upwards. photo: Gianluca Maver

Bespoke furniture design, featuring shelving system with storage underneath on both sides of the chimney. This made to measure storage perfectly fits alcoves that ware not perfectly even. Inside both cabinets we added extra shelves and cut outs for sockets and speaker wires. Alcove units were spray in lacquer to match F&B colours in lovely matt satin finish. As a final touch: beautiful brass handles made by small business owner and chosen from our "supporting small businesses" supplier list.

Our apartment project in Bramham Gardens, London, SW5. We knocked-through the living room wall and added bespoke bi-folding doors to the new dining area.

Leichtigkeit und Offenheit dominieren dieses Wohnhaus. So führt eine frei schwebende Treppe zur großzügigen Eingangstür mit feinem Schiefer-Inlay. Über den Empfang mit Garderobe und integrierter Lounge-Sitzbank gelangt man entweder links in den Gästebereich oder durch eine Schiebetür in die „Lebensräume“ ©Jannis Wiebusch
