It takes a talented design team to successfully blend classic and modern styling, but today's project demonstrates that with the right guiding hand it's not just possible, but astounding! Rich fabrics, luxe color schemes and statement furniture that demands a second look all work together to make this a truly astonishing home with a difference. The only question is, when can we move in?

Living it up

Think about everything you would want and need in your dream living room and we are sure you'll find it here! Luxurious sofas, squishy armchairs and high-end rugs that will feel glorious underfoot all feature prominently, but what really grabs our attention is how modern the space feels, despite the soft furnishings being so recognisably traditional. The blending of contemporary accents is so seamless, especially that main light fixture!

Dining in style

Talk about dining with a view! This atrium-style space, complete with French doors that open out into the garden is heavenly and offers a bright and beautiful location for formal yet fun dining at a large table. More traditional soft furnishing touches, such as that gorgeous oversized rug, tie the space to the rest of the interior, while the glass safety rail on the stairs reminds us that a contemporary feel is being strived for too. Wow!

Whipping up a storm

We are fully in awe at what the design team has accomplished throughout this home, but it's here, in the kitchen, that you can really see the pairing of old and new working perfectly. While the kitchen units and styling are inherently modern, with bright white, sleek cabinets and a chunky marble worktop, the inclusion of heritage chairs along the full length of the breakfast bar really adds something special. That baby blue leather is something else and contrasts with the white wonderfully.

Calm and bright

While a perfectly laid out living room is a treat for any home, including a more relaxed, cosy and snuggly den is vital for an enjoyable home and we are in love with this one. Fluffy rugs and a corner sofa keep the contemporary vibe alive, but heavily patterned blinds, art and muted tones really add a more old world charm too. What cohesive design this is, that even in the more private, casual rooms, the blending has been followed through!

Sweet dreams

Is this not a bedroom fit for royalty? The decadence of navy blue is undeniable and paves the way for extra luxurious touches, such as throws, rugs and even a chaise. Though a padded headboard is the ultimate in traditional bedroom additions, there is still a modern and fresh feel here, supported by the wooden floor, funky art and mirrored bedside table. Talk about a dreamy space!

Boudoir-inspired bathroom

We'd be delighted if our bathroom looked as exultant and outrageous as this one! Taking inspiration from the bedroom, navy blue has played a major part in here too and adds a certain richness. The built-in dressing table is incredible, but would you just look at that eye-catching and unusual bathtub? So modern and, on paper, out of place in such a traditional space and yet it looks perfectly at home. We can't picture anything else looking so good.

Proof incarnate that old and new can be blended with thought, care and consideration, this home is utterly inspiring and we know we'll be looking through these pictures again and again!
