Nautical Family Sitting Room, 2021

Nautical Family Sitting Room Client

This young family needed a central room in which to celebrate, entertain, and gather. Like often is the case, keeping chaos at bay with young children can be tricky and the owners craved for a space they could easily tidy up and elevate to a glamorous entertainment hub. A themed Nautical Family Sitting Room was the interior design transformation for this family.

Nautical Family Sitting Room Scope/Client Brief

This room was to be the place to gather, play games, relax by the fire, and host guests. It needed to strike a balance between elegance and comfort that could help the owners feel house proud but also keep things simple for everyday living. We opted for a striking colour palette that would provide the backdrop to late-night hosting and keep things streamlined and simple during everyday life!

Property Challenges

We had a feeling that once the room was done, it would radiate to other areas of the house so any future redesign would need to easily respect the design achieved here. That meant that the theme would need to be really well considered – the hallway connecting the lounge and the kitchen would be a natural continuation of this space and it was likely the kitchen in time would inherit some of the design elements too. The gorgeous new timber floor gave us scope to grow and we carefully selected a Havwoods product that we knew would be well-stocked even in years to come. See the sister project that did indeed follow in 2023 in our kitchen and dining redesign.

Our Interior Design Solution

What resulted was a new hub of the home, a charming, inviting, and cosy room for all to relax in. A complete refurbishment replaced flooring, ceiling, and wall surfaces, installed a new log burner and a clever lighting scheme. The jumping-off point was a tiny, framed image of a boat which we tied the design around – a nautical nod gave the room character and linked it to its owner’s family history in the nearby harbour. Antique brass and rustic timbers finish this space along with a complete furniture package we designed and installed.
