BIRCHWOOD

Transforming a modest Bungalow into a tranquil calm home

Elegant Interiors provided a full interior design service for this contemporary new-build home in Branksome Park, Poole, Dorset, working closely with our clients, their architect and builder over several years from the early stages of the build. The brief was to create a serene, organic contemporary interior with the calm, restorative quality of a high-end spa. A restrained palette of natural materials, tactile finishes and subtle textures was developed to complement the clean architectural lines of the property. Our involvement extended throughout the home, including bathrooms and tiling, a SieMatic kitchen, flooring, wallcoverings, paint specification, doors and ironmongery, fabrics, bespoke joinery and the swimming pool interior. The result is a cohesive home in which the architecture, materials and interior detailing have been considered as one complete scheme.

Elegant Interiors was commissioned to redesign the living room and principal bedroom of this contemporary home in Canford Cliffs, Poole, Dorset, providing the complete interior design and procurement service. The brief was to introduce a sophisticated transitional style, combining clean contemporary lines with softer, more timeless detailing while incorporating selected furniture and artwork already owned by our clients. Bespoke joinery played an important role in both spaces, complemented by new furniture, fabrics, window treatments, lighting and accessories, together with recommendations to update the existing fireplace and log burner. Warm neutrals, natural timber and subtle bronze finishes bring the scheme together, creating interiors that feel considered, comfortable and individual.
