LLI Design have recently completed a ground floor renovation of a home in Buckinghamshire, England.The family had bought the house new and over time had come to recognise that it did not fulfil their wishes as to how they wanted to live. The house in general, needed to be taken to a new level of design and quality, LLI Design proposed that more open plan living would suit the family’s lifestyle. The clients, a young professional couple with 2 children, wanted a modern look that wasn’t cold and clinical, they wanted their home to be somewhere they could relax and entertain, but at the same time would function as a practical family home. The original layout was fairly traditional, with a family / kitchen room at the back of the house looking onto the garden, a separate dining room at the front was seldom used – mainly because it was difficult to access from the kitchen. There were two further reception rooms, one of which, whilst large, was also under used as the layout, lighting and decor combined to make it an uncomfortable space.
A limited palette of greys, creams, blacks and reds added drama to the space. Color-wise, white is subtle and red is intense. We love it!
