🌿 From playroom - to snug & art studio...
Swipe to see where this room started.
Creating a multifunctional room is something that we are probably all familiar with - a room that can serve more than one purpose. That’s exactly what this home makeover needed to achieve.
Once a playroom, this room needed to transform into an art studio by day and a snug by night.
The snug needed to be not overly styled, just comfortable, but what does ‘comfort’ look like? For us, this comes in many forms: lighting, colours, materials, acoustics and a feeling of enclosure.
We chose a gorgeous mural called Jungle Vista in Soft Green, part of the Graham & Brown collection.
When we asked our decorator to put the mural on the ceiling, he was a little perplexed but our reasoning was twofold.
We wanted to recreate the feeling of a forest canopy as if the trees are surrounding you. Secondly, teenagers do a lot of lounging around and lying down, so having a forest to look up at while watching TV felt rather cool!
We complemented the mural with deep and calming Uluwatu Green (from our Pippa Jameson x Graham & Brown Paint for Wellness collection. Green is known to help calm the central nervous system and allow the body to feel more relaxed - so perfect for a snug.
The lighting by night is warm, dimmable and layered with side and floor lamps. The Venetian blinds help control the light but also provide privacy, creating a feeling of enclosure.
The sofa has far too many cushions and throws, as it should be, so that you can lose yourself in them.
More to come on this project soon - next, we’ll reveal the amazing cork board from Portuguese Treasures Ltd and the studio area of the room.
