A London project that takes a well-proportioned set of rooms, resonant to an architectural style to create an environment that is companion to the heritage the architect envisioned. The client wanted a light-filled setting, but described a wish for a jewel-box effect.

Creating an elegant scheme that speaks to both a wish for light and for envelopment required a plan for transformation in this London flat. Robert and team sourced a beautiful, antique fireplace decorated with the crests of 2 London families - its size and grandeur sets the tone in the large drawing room, with seating at one end and a library at the other, with a matching pair of glazed bookcases. Colourful rugs lay over matting; antique fabric shades on every lamp while eighteenth century mirrors reflect light and views. Pale blue-grey walls provide calm background to art and detail.  

The mood is carried on through the  kitchen, sized for town life, but decorated with antiques to make sense with its attachment to the rest of the space. In the bedroom, fabric covered walls, ceiling, and curtaining, all in Kime's Warwick puts the jewel box effect into play. In this project, Kime's most basic tenet,  that the mix of objects, histories and values is where the qualities of a Kime interior can shine through is closely adhered to.
