‘We couldn’t be happier with the transformation of our formal living room. Erini brought timeless elegance to our heritage home, seamlessly blending classic architectural charm with modern touches that make the space feel fresh and inviting. The result is a beautifully balanced room—sophisticated yet comfortable, respectful of the home's character yet perfectly suited to contemporary living. What I valued most was how effortless the entire process felt—Erini made everything incredibly easy, guiding us through each decision with clarity and confidence. It’s now a space we’re proud to share and enjoy every day. We are already working on the next project together.’ Client testimonial
A modern classic formal living space designed for relaxing, socialising, reading, listening to music, playing the piano - a flexible space from day to night. The brief from the client was a space that was primarily for adults (the children have the rest of the house!) the overall design to suit a large Victorian character manor and the pieces to be stand-alone (not built in) The palette is a cool blend of blues, silver and black with the addition of timber, brass and bronze to provide warmth. The Fat Tulip sofa and armchairs by Nau are upholstered in a dark navy velvet, generous in scale, high on comfort and are magnificently sculptural in form. The Blink coffee table in stone adds a lightness in colour and richness in form to the room which is a long space with very high ceilings. The Lato side tables in dark Emperador marble are a direct contrast however equally perfectly formed. These pieces sit on a large grey bamboo silk rug providing a luxurious experience visually and underfoot.
Feature lighting includes the classic 1970's geometrical Atollo lamp in black, the Cliff table lamp in black metal, brass and light stone base sits on the piano that serves as a reading light for music, the Coordinates floor lamp is a vertical strip light in anodized champagne is a modern compliment to the existing chandelier in the space. The water gilded Louis Philippe antique mirror has a crested Rococo top is dramatic in aesthetics, history and scale. The Planner Shelving unit by Frtiz Hansen is a contemporary and elegant solution for display. The bar cart is made from steel paired with gleaming bronze, agile and ready for entertainment.
The environment provides qualities of calm, sophistication and flexibility. The interior works from the morning into the evening with a natural connection to the outdoors through the high windows that provide natural light and views to the leafy garden all year round.
