This bedroom, part of the New England & Cape Cod–inspired home by Studio212 Ltd, has been conceived as a calm and elegant retreat. A bespoke timber slatted headboard wall with integrated LED lighting creates a warm architectural feature, framing the upholstered bed. On either side, pendant lamps from Heals provide ambient glow and balance. To the left, a bespoke floating dressing table/desk with mirror is paired with a King Living chair, adding both practicality and refined texture. Soft cushions and a wool throw in shades of green layer subtle contrast against the crisp quilted bedspread, while a pale carpet grounds the scheme in comfort and calm.

Overview Extension and complete refurbishment. The Brief The existing house had very shallow rooms with a need for more depth throughout the property by extending into the rear garden which is large and south facing. We were to look at extending to the rear and to the end of the property, where we had redundant garden space, to maximise the footprint and yield a series of WOW factor spaces maximising the value of the house. The brief requested 4 bedrooms plus a luxurious guest space with separate access; large, open plan living spaces with large kitchen/entertaining area, utility and larder; family bathroom space and a high specification ensuite to two bedrooms. In addition, we were to create balconies overlooking a beautiful garden and design a ‘kerb appeal’ frontage facing the sought-after street location. Buildings of this age lend themselves to use of natural materials like handmade tiles, good quality bricks and external insulation/render systems with timber windows. We specified high quality materials to achieve a highly desirable look which has become a hit on Houzz. Our Solution One of our specialisms is the refurbishment and extension of detached 1930’s properties. Taking the existing small rooms and lack of relationship to a large garden we added a double height rear extension to both ends of the plan and a new garage annex with guest suite. We wanted to create a view of, and route to the garden from the front door and a series of living spaces to meet our client’s needs. The front of the building needed a fresh approach to the ordinary palette of materials and we re-glazed throughout working closely with a great build team.

Master bedroom

Spires Interiors recently finished work on this stunning bedroom renovation project in Brightlingsea, Essex, incorporating fully bespoke cabinetry, bespoke built-in wardrobes, oak worktops, and more. The owners of this property in Brightlingsea, near Colchester Essex, were looking for a bespoke renovation of their master bedroom, utilising our expert joinery skills and craftsmanship. With the help of our expert, in-house design team, the couple opted for the Balham in-frame cabinet door from Callerton, a classic style that is synonymous with timeless simplicity and sophistication. This was paired with bespoke worktops crafted by our team of joiners and finished to our usual exacting standards. The cabinets were set in an oak-style carcass, and finished in sail, a classic cream colour that oozes style, and ensures each piece looks perfect from every angle. The same doors were used for both the built-in wardrobes and the bedside cupboards, ensuring cohesiveness and style that runs throughout the room. We opted for aged brass, knurled knob handles for the cupboards and bar handles for the bedroom wardrobes, that looks, and crucially, feels high-quality.

The wood veneer wardrobes, with fabric inserts work perfectly with the overall style of this primary bedroom.

Dark grey walls and a midnight blue upholstered head board characterise this master bedroom creating an atmospheric, intimate space. Vintage rosewood bedside cabinets and a table light with geometric patterned shade compliment the palette and the pops of vibrant jungle greens keep the look fresh and add interest.

Woods & Warner worked closely with Clare Carter Contemporary Architecture to bring this beloved family home to life. Extensive renovations with customised finishes, second storey, updated floorpan & progressive design intent truly reflects the clients initial brief. Industrial & contemporary influences are injected widely into the home without being over executed. There is strong emphasis on natural materials of marble & timber however they are contrasted perfectly with the grunt of brass, steel and concrete – the stunning combination to direct a comfortable & extraordinary entertaining family home. Furniture, soft furnishings & artwork were weaved into the scheme to create zones & spaces that ensured they felt inviting & tactile. This home is a true example of how the postive synergy between client, architect, builder & designer ensures a house is turned into a bespoke & timeless home.
