Contemporary Snug, open plan living
Nr Cheltenham
Hey Julia…it’s evening, post dinner, we are now sitting in your snug with the fire on and music playing! You really have achieved a fantastic result for us……thank you soooooo much!
This project involved transforming a large open plan living space in Cheltenham, Cotswolds into a cosy contemporary snug. The design brief was to create a striking, colourful focal point upon entering the house, while maintaining a cosy and intimate feel when in use.
The British made bespoke chairs are so comfortable they sort of hug you!. The upholstered kingfisher blue velvet, adds a rich, luxurious feel that really stands out against the embroidered linen, making the whole design feel both elegant and cozy. The round table has a textural top and the metal base complements the steel suspended bioethanol fireplace – no flue needed as it burns a smoke and vapour free eco-friendly flame.
We designed the woollen rug and commissioned it to be exactly sized for the space.
The clients bought the round log store which complemented the shape of the table and light fitting.
We carried the kingfisher blue onto the trimming of the blind and curtains.
The overall effect is modern luxury in a cosy setting.

Challenge: The main challenge was filling the empty space between the open-plan kitchen diner and the staircase with a seating area. Sue (our client) had a specific desire for a particular shade of blue. She wanted it to stand out against the otherwise neutral, Cotswold stone surroundings. They also needed the area to be modern yet welcoming — a spot to gravitate to for weekend coffee or evening drinks.
Solution: We embraced the Sue’s love of blue by selecting an opulent velvet in her chosen shade (we looked at quite a few blue/green cloths before we found exactly the one she envisioned), which not only added a vibrant burst of colour but also created a luxurious contrast with the neutral tones. To make the space feel intimate and inviting, we chose a modern, comfortable seating arrangement postioned on a rug that anchors the room while blending seamlessly with the overall design. The result is a striking focal point that enhances the home’s warmth and character, offering a stylish yet cosy spot for relaxation. It has the added intrigue of immediately piquing the interest of any callers to the house or visitors as they step through the door.
