A Family Home Entrance Redesign

Creating a welcoming and uplifting entrance hall is key to setting the tone for the entire home. For this large family property, the brief was to design a space that would bring joy every morning while respecting its historical charm. Retaining the original wooden staircase and paneling, the transformation blended timeless elements with modern sophistication to achieve a look that is both elegant and uplifting.

Preserving History While Embracing Change

The original wooden staircase and paneling were at the heart of the home’s character and were carefully preserved to honour its history. These architectural features provided the perfect foundation for the design, serving as a backdrop for a fresh and updated aesthetic. The challenge was to strike the right balance between maintaining the home’s traditional charm and introducing contemporary touches to create a timeless appeal.

Sophisticated Textures and Patterns

To elevate the space, a patterned wallpaper was chosen for its sophisticated yet understated design, adding depth and refinement to the walls. Luxurious window treatments further enhanced the look, combining practicality with an elegant aesthetic. A classic houndstooth carpet was carefully selected to harmonise with the home’s existing architectural details, bringing an element of softness and luxury underfoot while seamlessly tying the staircase and landing together.

A Harmonious Blend of Past and Present

The final result is a masterclass in understated luxury, where every design choice complements the home’s original features. The combination of the preserved wooden details, the elegant wallpaper, and the sumptuous textures creates a harmonious space that exudes warmth and sophistication. The entrance hall, stairs, and landing have been transformed into an area that feels modern yet timeless, making every morning a pleasure to come home to.

This redesign showcases how thoughtful attention to detail and respect for a home’s history can result in a space that feels both fresh and timeless. The updated entrance hall perfectly balances traditional charm with contemporary elegance, creating a rarefied yet welcoming feel. It’s a space that not only honours the home’s heritage but also celebrates the joy of everyday living.
