LONDON PROJECT ..BEFORE & AFTER..INTERIOR DESIGN LAURA MCCREE

BEFORE

THE KITCHEN AT MY NEWLY APPOINTED LONDON PROJECT 

WAS ALL MELLOW YELLOW ..

IN FACT THE WHOLE HOUSE WAS MATCH

 FROM ONE STRAND OF COL BAND ...

YELLOW TO BROWN..NOT VERY NICE

SO I WANTED TO INJECT SOME INDIVIDUALITY INTO THE HOUSE

 TO A VERY HIGH STANDARD

I GAVE THIS KITCHEN SOME EDGE 

RE PAINTING WITH A GUN METAL METALLIC COLOUR

GIVING THE KITCHEN A STRIKING

WELL NEEDED CONTRAST

AFTER

DRAWING ROOM

THE DRAWING ROOM REMINDED ME OF A FUNERAL PARLOUR

BANDED IN MELOW YELLOW PAINT WITH DEEP DAMASK WALL PAPER 

THE COLOUR CHOICE DROWNED THE SPACE

PERIOD PROPERTIES WITH THERE VERY HIGH

CEILINGS CAN FEEL LIKE THERE IS MORE SPACE

THAN THERE ACTUALLY IS

SO USING THIS DOWDY COLOUR DID THIS SPACE NO FAVOURS

BEFORE

SO I DECIDED TO TRANSFORM THIS SPACE

WHITE PERFECTLY POLISH WALLS

SOFT TINTED GREY MIRROR 

SOFT SILVER METALLIC PAINT

THIS GAVE THIS ROOM A WELL NEEDED TRANSFORMATION

FOR THE BETTER

WITH A UNIQUE BUT STYLISH LAYOUT OF SEATING 

AFTER

BEFORE

WHAT WAS A GRIM STUDY DARK OAK & MORE DARK OAK

STRAIGHT OUT OF THE TEXT BOOD OF STUDIES

BORING & AGAIN BORDER LINE DEPRESSING 

STUDY 2 DINING

MY CLEINT THANKFULLY WANTED TO CHANGE THE USE

OF THIS SPACE TO A DINING ROOM

WITH UNIQUE THOUGHT CLEVER DESIGNING

THE SPACE WAS PERFECTLY TRANSFORMED

AFTER

I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED

AT MY NEWLY APPOINTED PROJECT 

INTERIOR 

HOW BAD A CONDITION THE OUTDOOR SPACE WAS ..

BUT WITH A SLIGHT CHANGE A FULL ON CLEAN UP 

I MANAGED TO GIVE THIS OUTDOOR SPACE 

THIS KICK UP THE ARSE IT NEEDED

BEFORE

OUTDOOR SPACE

 AGAIN THE LAST DESIGNER DOESNT KNOW THE MEANING OF THE WORD

CONTRAST ...BLAND IS ALWAYS NOT GOOD IN THE WORLD OF DESIGN

SO BY INJECTING THIS GREAT PRODUCT ECO DECKING COL BLACK

 WITH SOFT PLANTING OF EVER GREEN SHRUBS ...THIS SOFT CHANGE 

GAVE THIS LONDON OUTDOOR AREA THE MOUTH TO MOUTH IT SO NEEDED

AFTER

LONDON PROJECT FAMILY ROOM INTERIOR DESIGN LAURA MCCREE

 BEFORE

LONDON PROJECT HAD ITS CHALLENGES ..

THE BASEMENT WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED

 FOR A DINING ROOM BUT I HAD TO CHANGE IT 

TO A FAMILY CHILL OUT ROOM..

MAKING GOOD PRACTICAL USE OF THE AWKWARD SPACE UNDER THE STAIRS

I WORKED ON A BAR DESIGN ADDED SLDING DOORS

BESPOKE DETAIL INSPIRED BY MOTHER NATURE HERSELF

WORKING WITH PRE DYED HIGH GLOSS MACASSAR 

& SMOKED MIRROR

FULL HEIGHT DOORS THAT GLIDED OPEN TO 

REVEAL A BAR AREA

 AFTER

MY CLIENTS BRIEF WAS TO CREATE A SEATING AREA THAT ENABLED THEM

TO LIE RELAX AS THEY WOULD ON A BED 

SO NOT TO CONSUME THE LITTLE SPACE I HAD I DESIGNED A HALF MOON SOFA

UPHOLSTERED THE SOFA IN A VERY SOFT LEATHER AND FINISHED THE LAYOUT WITH A FOOTSTOOL ..

SO ALL PARTIES RELAXING COULD WATCH TV WITH AMAZING COMFORT
