PORTFOLIO

​A Calm and Elegant Contemporary Classic​

The complete renovation of a family house has resulted in a carefully crafted contemporary classic. The reconfigured interiors incorporate a new two floor extension, reception room, library, living room, five bedrooms and exterior terraces, as well as a loft studio. Contemporary pieces from luxurious Italian furniture makers sit easily in the traditional architecture.

Open Plan Dining Room

For this project, we wanted to create a space that was timeless, inviting and functional, as well as to reflect our clients’ love of innovative and luxurious design. Special consideration was given to creating an open plan that could incorporate the dining room within the living space. As a whole, our objective was to create a comfortable space that was visually appealing and versatile in nature.

A fabulous floor-standing Calacatta Honed Splitface Apollo basin (Mandarin Stone) also creates a beautiful focal point and further enhances the feeling of luxury.

Luxury Master Bedroom with En Suite Bathroom

The soft natural tones used in the refurbishment of the master bedroom set the right balance between simplicity and luxury. Our brief was to re-style the bedroom with new furnishings and fabrics to make it feel younger and fresher.
We were also asked to completely redesign the en suite bathroom. The bedroom colour scheme was carried through to the bathroom to create a unified space. We also included interesting textures and fabrics to enhance the sense of luxury.

Edwardian Manor House 

Set in gorgeous Cambridgeshire countryside, this manor house is a wonderful example of Edwardian architecture. To create this dining room interior, we used a mix of antique and contemporary pieces, combining luxurious fabrics and distressed mirrors. A favourite feature are the large chandeliers by Jonathan Adler.  A natural colour scheme with splashes of fresh green draws the rooms together to create a welcoming yet elegant family home.

Nature Inspired Loft Apartment​

When considering the transformation of this loft apartment, we decided to use green and natural materials, such as natural stone, wood, silk. As this bright attic apartment was full of natural light, we used bold mixing materials, textures and natural patterns
to create a timeless, relaxed and sleek space.

Make big entrance.
​Hallway interior design.

The entrance hall gives visitors the first impression of an interior, so in redesigning a villa that was over a 100 years old, the hallway was very important in setting a tone that welcomed and enticed with a hint of luxury and sophistication. We used limestone on the floor, created white-painted panels and added that crucial touch of glam by combining stunning Nobilis wallpaper with a console table, wall lights and mirror by the fabulous Porta Romana.

Elegant and Timeless Bathroom

Elegant hues and touches of luxury give this bathroom has the feel of a relaxing spa. We used a very subtle colour scheme, dark marble and large tiles to provide the perfect background for the gorgeous luxe Dornbracht taps, handles and the shower head.

Formerly conventional house transformed into lavish, earthy, and functional home

This Cambridgeshire home underwent quite the transformation. We transformed what was previously a plain and bare house into a warm, elegant, and functional living space. By using natural materials such as marble and wood we created an earthy atmosphere for the client. Bright chalk-white walls surround each room, inviting in the warm English sunshine and creating a feeling of open-ness, at times almost dissolving the walls.
Creating a functional interior, along with ample space, was a key focus. To accommodate this, we created a multi-tasking study/bedroom and incorporated an abundance of storage including a new closet in the study/bedroom and numerous storage compartments in the living room and kitchen.

Warm and cosy one bedroom apartment

For this project, our client was interested in giving their apartment a face-lift but wanted to keep existing furniture pieces. As a whole, they wanted to add more light and a bigger “wow” factor, while at the same time creating a cosy atmosphere. Throughout the apartment, we chose neutral colours complimented with colourful accents to add warmth and character to the space. We also took a similar approach in selecting accessories, and created various focal points through artwork and lighting. All paintings displayed throughout the home were created by the owner of AZ Interiors, Alicia Zimnickas.

Light and Bright House in Cambridge

When this home was first purchased, the house was in desperate need of a contemporary face-lift. The layout was not maximising the space and the natural light was minimal. To solve this, we installed a massive skylight on the second floor landing flooding the stairwell and main hallway with light. We also drafted new space plans to maximise space and furnished the home with modern, neutral furniture. As our client was creative, we included pops of colour with accessories to reflect their taste and personality.

Cambridgeshire family living room to have fun and enjoy

When it comes to interior decoration most clients fear pattern and colour. That's a shame especially when the results can be so effective and stylish. Our Cambridgeshire client wanted to turn his family living room into something more individual and fun to enjoy. We created a nice snug area next wood burner – a cosy place to read a book or chill and keep yourself warm in cold winter evenings. Roman blinds with Oriental-style flowers pattern connects inside with in outside garden.

Luxury Urban Apartment in the Heart of London

Located within a new-build complex in the heart of the city, we designed this apartment to create an elegant and smooth distribution of space. Offering a practical use of space, we provided our clients with plenty of storage room including built-in bookcases and multi-purpose furniture. Lighting was very important in this project. The owners were interested in different lighting effects to create atmosphere and highlight specific aspects of the interior, like artworks and wall textures.
