The challenge
A typical London reception room has one good window, a chimney breast that dictates the layout, and a television nobody wants to look at. All three had to be resolved without the room turning into a corridor of furniture.

Apartment renovation — luxury home interiors
High-end London living room concept combining a custom media wall, linear fireplace, and natural stone accent. Designed for homeowners and property investors seeking a refined, functional, timeless interior that maximises layout efficiency and natural light — core to the studio’s London offering.
A typical London reception room has one good window, a chimney breast that dictates the layout, and a television nobody wants to look at. All three had to be resolved without the room turning into a corridor of furniture.
The chimney breast was rebuilt as a single composition — linear fire, stone above, joinery either side — so the television sits inside a designed wall rather than on top of one. Seating faces the window, not the screen, and the palette stays pale so the one window does the work of two.
A calm, resale-strong reception room that reads as bespoke joinery rather than bought furniture.
Backlit joinery and concealed shelf lighting carry the evening; recessed spots are kept off the walls so the stone is never flattened.
