Soft, muted colours have been used in the contemporary dining room giving the scheme a gentle warmth. A large 8-seater oak table and faux leather chairs add practicality and comfort. A bespoke timber and metal console and drinks cabinet was designed to fit comfortably in the recess on either side of the fireplace. The original fireplace surround detail formed the intricate detail, which together with the artwork, completes the scheme. Photography by Ephraim Muller.
