Our team recently completed an exciting interior design and property styling project, bringing together stylish furniture with stunning loft architecture.
We were tasked by RIBA award-winning architects, Sjolander Da Cruz, to furnish and style a range of apartments they had designed and built as part of their Liv Projekt scheme in Birmingham.
The project focuses on well-designed homes that offer living and working spaces which celebrate the industrial background of Birmingham in an original way.
Natalie Shanks, Visual Merchandiser at our Guildford store, says:
“We were delighted to take on such a rewarding design job. The functional and contemporary furniture we have styled, creates a perfect blend of modern Scandinavian design and industrial loft architecture. We love the finished result!”
Sharon Davis, Senior Sales Advisor at our Guildford store says:
“This was a very satisfying project to work on. The challenging room shapes and industrial architec-ture allowed us to present an integrated live/workspace, which we are extremely proud of. ”
Let’s take a look inside…
Here we paired the beautiful Runswick Bed Frame with matching bedside tables and topped with two Grey and Gold Table Lamps for ambient lighting. The chic Monza Dressing Table makes a fantastic spot for getting ready and comes with a handy mirror attached.
In this bedroom we added a touch of greenery with the artificial Potted Palm and Button Fern, while our Soft Rust Throw provides a cosy pop of colour and texture.
Our much-loved Runa Armchair is just perfect for this stylish book nook, featuring the Kassel Bookshelf with plenty of room for your favourite reads. For now, it’s home to the lovely Potted Tillandsia, Tall White Vase and Blue Ceramic Vase.
We’ve given the walls a little personality with some modern framed artwork – the Abstract Form Picture and Tropical Leaf Print complement each other well.
A fantastic space-saving piece, the Halmstad Flip Top Table works brilliantly in this apartment equipping you for those extra dinner guests, while our Quebec Dining Chairs lend a spot of comfort in a black leather look.
To create a modern yet inviting bedroom space, we chose the Audran upholstered bed frame in plush blue velvet, and styled it with an assortment of soft textured cushions.
A neutral rug dials up the cosiness, along with soft lighting courtesy of our glamorous Marble Table Lamp and black angled floor lamp.
Our Monza Bedside Cabinet was selected for its generous storage capacity, while the Astala Desk and Hans Wishbone Chair create an enviable set-up for working from home. Positioned under the generous sky light window it really capitalises on the inspiring city views and natural sunlight.
Modern yet versatile, the Levico Sofa, chair and footstool combo really complement the industrial setting. Our Kline Nest of Tables can be presented as a set or used individually to provide essential surface space. The Hansen TV Lowboard is ready to stow away all manner of remote controls, DVDs and games, making for a clean living area that really lets the architecture of the space breathe.
A wonderfully Scandi addition to the lounge area, our White Angle Floor Lamp will be ideal for reading after dark. And for a welcome dose of warmth, our Monochrome Etch Rug offers a textured contrast against the wood flooring.
