Studio G Interior Design was delighted to infuse character and style into a new-build townhouse in Mill Hill, a sought-after residential area in Northwest London.

While built to an exceptionally high standard, our client felt the modern five-bedroom property lacked personality and warmth. So, to create a more welcoming home we introduced architectural depth, bespoke joinery and decorative texture to combat the bland feel.

First, we installed bespoke art deco step style cornicing to add interest to the flat walls and reflect London’s classic period architecture. We also replaced the doors with new glazed and panelled designer doors with matching architraves. Adding period detailing like coving and panelling to a modern new townhouse softens any harsh, straight, angular lines and creates a cosier, more sophisticated, and less ‘boxy’ atmosphere

Bespoke cabinetry and soft furnishings

We commissioned a range of bespoke joinery including a media display cabinet, wardrobes and library all tailored to fit our clients’ exact specifications.

We then introduced rich, textural layers such as silk fabrics, plush rugs and embroidered cushions to create an elegant, lived-in atmosphere. New silk curtains beautifully complement the large bespoke bamboo silk hand knotted rug. Lighting was important too. We upgraded the standard fixtures, a decorative modern glass chandelier and statement table lamps add modern glamour.

Many of the lighting fixtures and wallpaper were exclusively sourced from the USA inspired by the client’s love of American décor during her regular visits. Additionally, as a company, we have considerable experience in sourcing various items from abroad, including Australia and the USA.
