2nd January 2025 | IN RESIDENTIAL DESIGN | BY SBID Share Tweet Pinterest LinkedIn Lewis Knox worked closely developing a new style for their home; a refined classical rural retreat full of soft, subtle tones and warm textures. Lewis Knox We were tasked with reimaging this barn conversion recently purchased by our clients. They were not keen on the inherited interior style and asked us to transform the interior into something more suited to their lifestyle, tastes and aspirations. It was important to reflect their love for nature, being animal lovers and having a strong connection with this area we used these points to formulate the designs for their home. Lewis Knox Existing floors were replaced with washed oak engineered timber which was reflected in several areas around the property; most notably cladding the entrance hall and games room fireplace to connect the two areas together. Lewis Knox We commissioned a sculptural feature stairwell light from a local artisan to hang pride of place and set a welcoming tone for everyone who enters. This palette of warm bronze and nature inspired details moves throughout the property with our use of materials in side tables, lamps and furnishing fabrics.

Lewis Knox Where we had completely separate enclosed rooms and spaces such as the snug and bar we decorated this in warmer colours and tones to create intimate spaces our clients could retreat to, away from the main living spaces. Lewis Knox Lewis Knox We utilised the annexe, a much forgotten part of the buildings and worked with our main contractor to bring it back up to modern standards. Creating a purpose made gym, ensuite, changing area, dog wash and kitchenette. It even featured a golf simulator room with a dedicated bar. This has transformed how our clients can enjoy their home, as they now have everything they need within their surroundings.
