Luxury Hallway Interior Design for Heritage Home

A new lease of life for an unused heritage hallway

The brief

While some will walk past an unused area day after day without a second thought, our client had another idea: using their large hallway as an extra room. They approached us knowing it had lots of potential, but they needed us to bring it to life and make it usable. With ample space and plenty of natural light from two windows, we knew we could turn it into an attractive extra room.

Our solution

We began by removing an old beam that had previously blocked a window, matching new panelling to the original details, and restoring the home's heritage. We further enhanced the house's history by having French polishers restore the original Herringbone parquet flooring, breathing new life into it with a beautiful finish.

We used striking American wallpaper, which we took up the stairs, and artwork personal to the owner. We finished the space with subtle bespoke lighting, chairs made to fit, and side tables for a cosy room with an identity all its own.

Our client loved the sense of grandeur that the panelling and polished floor created. They decided to use the new snug area as a reading nook or just to sit and relax by the fire, much needed in this busy family home. It was also perfect for their very tall Christmas tree!
