Elegant Interiors delivered the complete transformation of this contemporary penthouse apartment in Canford Cliffs, Poole, Dorset, providing full interior design, furnishing and project management for clients moving from a much more traditional home. The brief called for a masculine, modern interior that worked with the existing finishes of the penthouse, using a predominantly neutral palette punctuated by expressive fabrics and carefully considered colour. Our involvement covered the full design and specification, furniture, lighting, accessories and fabric schemes, together with a bespoke media unit incorporating an integrated fireplace. Every element was coordinated so the clients could return to a fully completed home with a cohesive contemporary identity tailored to their new surroundings.

Contemporary Transformation - From Georgian Luxury to Penthouse Chic

Project Overview:

The journey from a classic Georgian-style home and previously a Queen Anne house, rich with cream, gilt, and antique furniture, to a contemporary penthouse apartment represented a significant shift in design and lifestyle for our clients. The brief from the client was to create a masculine contemporary design that harmonised with the existing finishes of the penthouse. The overarching design concept centred on a neutral palette with bold hints of colour, driven by the clients' adventurous taste in abstract fabrics. This comprehensive project encompassed the complete transformation of the property into a fully designed, specified, and furnished home, ready for our clients to enter upon their return from vacation. In addition to interior design, Elegant Interiors also undertook project management, successfully delivering a beautiful home with a stunning bespoke media unit, complete with an integrated fireplace, for our clients to enjoy.

Challenges and Solutions:

Transition from Traditional to Contemporary: The primary challenge was transitioning from a traditional, opulent interior style to a modern, masculine contemporary design. Elegant Interiors meticulously reimagined the space, incorporating clean lines, sleek furnishings, and minimalist aesthetics while preserving the elegance of the penthouse setting.

Neutral Palette with Bold Accents: The design brief called for a neutral palette with hints of colour. Elegant Interiors skillfully selected a restrained yet striking colour palette, allowing abstract fabrics to become the focal point. These bold fabric choices infused the space with personality and were a theme throughout the renovation.

Full Turnkey Solution:

To ensure a seamless transition for the clients, Elegant Interiors took on the task of delivering a fully designed, specified, and furnished home. This included everything from furniture selection to lighting and accessories, allowing the clients to return from their holiday to their newly redesigned home.

Project Management:

The project management aspect was crucial in overseeing the renovation process and coordinating various aspects of the design implementation. Elegant Interiors successfully managed the timeline and collaborated with contractors to meet the project's objectives.

Bespoke Media Unit with Integrated Fireplace:

A standout feature of the project was the bespoke media unit with an integrated fire. This custom-designed centrepiece added a touch of luxury and served as a functional focal point in the penthouse's living area.

Results:

Elegant Interiors' transformation of the Georgian-style home into a contemporary penthouse apartment with a masculine, modern aesthetic was remarkable. The design seamlessly integrated the clients' adventurous fabric choices, creating a visually captivating and harmonious living space. The fully designed and furnished home with the bespoke media unit and integrated fireplace epitomised sophistication and functionality.
