Inside Studio Design a Modern and Neutral Family Home

This week’s instalment of the Project of the Week series features a modern and neutral family home design by 2023 SBID Awards Finalist, Inside Studio.

Inside Studio was tasked with the brief to transform a dated space into a home that reflects the needs of the clients’ growing family. The design had to have full impact of a transformation whilst retaining the existing kitchen, flooring, sofa and gas fire. Regardless of the many elements that remained, Inside Studio wowed the clients with a complete transformation of the space, introducing classic details to point back to the original architecture of the house, whilst keeping the balance with the modern elements. Enriching the space with a colour and materials scheme that is luxurious, timeless and family friendly.

What was the client’s brief? 

We were tasked with the brief to transform a dated space into one that meets the needs of how the clients’ growing family uses the space, without compromising on the aesthetics.

What inspired the design of the project?

We introduced classic details in the design to point back to the original architecture of the house, whilst keeping the balance with the modern elements that the space already had installed, such as the kitchen and fireplace. To keep the aesthetics warm and inviting, whilst suitable for a young family, we used layered with textures with a neutral base accentuated with rich warm colours.
