BASEMENT CINEMA, POOL ROOM AND WINE BAR IN WEST LONDON We created this generous space in the basement of a detached family home. Our clients were keen to have a private area for chilling out, watching films and most importantly, throwing parties! The palette of colours we chose here calmly envelop you as you relax. Then later when the party is in full swing, and the lights are up, the colours take on a more vibrant quality. MOOD LIGHTING, ATMOSPHERE AND DRAMA Mood lighting plays an important role in this basement. The two natural light sources are a walk-on glass floor in the room above, and the open staircase leading up to it. Apart from that, this was a dark space which gave us the perfect opportunity to do something really dramatic with the lighting. Most of the lights are on separate circuits, giving plenty of options in terms of mood scenes. The pool table is overhung by three brass and amber glass pendants, which we commissioned from one of our trade suppliers. Our beautifully curated artwork is tastefully lit with downlights and picture lights. LEDs give a warm glow around the perimeters of the media unit, wine rack and bar top. CONTEMPORARY PRIVATE MEMBERS CLUB FEEL The traditional 8-foot American pool table was made bespoke in our selection of finishes. As always, we made sure there was a full cue’s length all the way around the playing area. We designed the bar and wine rack to be custom made for this project. The natural patina of the brass worktop shows every mark and stain, which might sound impractical but in reality looks quirky and timeless. The bespoke bar cabinetry was finished in a chestnut brown lacquer spray paint. On this project we delivered our full interior design service, which includes concept design visuals, a rigorous technical design package and a full project coordination and installation service.

Hand painted white and yellow stairs to add effect to a space often not considered to be of importance. But as you can see it draws the eye in and makes this a special feature. Muz- Real Focus Photography 07507 745 655

The basement games & cinema rooms of our SW17 Heaver Estate family home were dark and cold, so we added panelling, wall lights, a bespoke bar area & Roman blinds to make them feel cosier

Just Venice replicates wood at its best. A true plank size of 1800x268mm, brings the reality of wooden beauty, right into your living space. Like different wooden posts, they join at the surface of the water to create a dolphin structure, similar to the Just Venice line of tiles, which join in your rooms to create your own personal style. Smooth or coarse, elaborated or rustic, each piece of wood encloses many aspects, just as many as its veins and with just as many colours. Strength, fineness and vigour: the many personalities are inscribed in the colours and in the shades of wood. This range is truly an inspiring creation that will provide refinement and sophistication to any living space.

This client was a huge wine lover and asked us to design him a wine room and cellar. Through considered design this space became a perfect retreat for days when you just need to chill out with a bottle of wine from your very own bar!

Cheville plank smoked and finished in a metallic oil. The metallic finish reflects the light, so you see different tones at different times of the day, or depending on how the light is hitting it. The client specified Versailles tile in the reception room, planks in the basement, and clad the staircase in the same wood with a matching nosing. Everything matched perfectly, we offer any design in any colour at Cheville. Each block is hand finished in a hard wax oil. Compatible with under floor heating. Blocks are engineered, tongue and grooved on all 4 sides, supplied pre-finished. Cheville also finished the bespoke staircase in a matching colour.
