The living room layout used to be awkward with a small window in the corner and an inset gas fireplace and free standing furniture that looked cluttered. A media wall was created as part of the design to create a real destination. We create bespoke sofas for the space that can be apart or connected to create the ultimate movie watching experience. The new gas fire is efficient and provides added levels of cosiness. The bottom shelves also double up as handy storage whilst the shelves can be used to create a stylish display.

Project Overview: Mrs Manjit Lounge Client Brief: Following discussions, the proposed lounge design scheme embraces a timeless navy and silver palette, evoking elegance, calm, and sophistication for a refined, welcoming atmosphere with modern luxury touches. Scope of Work: -Interior design -Furniture sourcing -Lighting and accessory selection -Styling and decorative accents -Window treatment and cabinetry updates Design Narrative: The lounge is designed to balance deep richness and contemporary sparkle. Navy serves as the anchor colour, complemented by silver accents to add clean, sophisticated highlights throughout the space. Key Design Elements: Walls & Colour Palette: Remaining walls are painted a soft neutral grey with a subtle blue undertone, enhancing the calming effect of the navy and silver scheme. Flooring: Options include luxury oak-effect laminate or deep grey carpet, providing warmth and contrast. An optional silver-threaded area rug with subtle patterns ties the scheme together. Furniture: A velvet or linen-upholstered navy sofa with chrome or brushed silver legs anchors the seating area. Accent chairs in soft dove grey or silver-blue with piped detailing add texture and comfort. Accessories & Textures: Cushions combine silver velvet, metallic brocade, and navy suede textures. Silver-framed mirrors reflect light and visually expand the room. Floor and table lamps feature crystal or brushed steel bases paired with navy or grey shades. Statement wall art includes abstract silver leaf prints on navy backgrounds or monochrome photography in silver frames. Window Treatments: Floor-length navy velvet curtains with silver tiebacks frame the space. The client had already installed white colonial shutters on the front bay window. Glass shelves were added to the arch glazed side window and the right-hand alcove for carefully sourced accessories. Custom Cabinetry & Radiators: An upcycled low four-door cabinet was painted in an accent colour and fitted with newly designed gold decorative handles. Existing oak lamp tables were painted in the same accent colour. Radiators were replaced with black graphite ladder-style units, placed each side of one sofa location. Decorative Accents: Silver candle holders, navy glass vases, and geometric ornaments add finishing touches. A statement ceiling light, either a chrome chandelier or a modern metallic gold sunburst pendant, draws the eye upward, completing the design. Designer Insight: This lounge design reflects an elegant fusion of classic colour contrasts and modern luxury. The thoughtful layering of navy and silver tones, combined with custom detailing and textures, creates a sophisticated yet welcoming space tailored to the client’s refined taste.
