Turning something small into something beautiful

 

This small one bedroom flat was a challenging site to work with. the ceilings were low and solid, and we had to make it feel light and airy. The client requested a boutique hotel feel and really wanted to do something different with the space, much to our delight.

Due to the solid ceiling, throughout most of the flat we had to work with surface mounted lighting, while minimizing any drops due to the low height. We decided to include linear LED strip concealed by pelmets, providing soft washes of light into the space when dimmed, but can be turned up to give bright light when required. Integrated lighting into the furniture and specific decorative table and floor lamps helped provide the task lighting for the space. 

The bathroom was the one area with a suspended ceiling, so we created a wash of light along one wall, while keeping all light fittings as discrete as possible to provide a sense of serenity and peace for a home in the bustling city.
