We were engaged to assist a young professional couple with various rooms in their house in Hampstead, North London. For this reception room at the front of the house, they wanted a space that felt special for evening relaxation while also being fun and inviting for entertaining guests.

Their contemporary design preferences shaped the concept, but it was vital to avoid a cold or generic feel. Handmade zellige tiles, luxurious textures, and bold accents were carefully selected to ensure the room felt warm, personal, and sophisticated.

The result is a well-balanced and uniquely personal space that the couple loves to use, whether for quiet evenings or lively gatherings.
