The Brief

The couple came to Ben initially for spatial planning and lighting design — practical problems to solve in a compact space. By the end of the project, he'd designed everything.

The ask was clear: a calming bedroom retreat with carefully considered pops of colour, and a serene en-suite that made the most of every square inch.

The Approach

The loft presented the usual challenges — angled ceilings, awkward corners, limited natural light in places. The spatial planning brief meant thinking hard about how each room would flow into the next, and how the architecture could be used rather than fought against.

The solution was to build a consistent design language across all three spaces — bedroom, dressing room, and en-suite — that made the whole floor feel intentional and cohesive rather than a series of disconnected rooms.

Warm amber walls run throughout, grounding each space in the same quiet palette. From there, each room was given its own character.

The Bedroom

The bedroom was designed around calm. A custom upholstered headboard with a softly curved silhouette anchors the room. Paired brass wall lights sit symmetrically either side — warm, considered, and practical. Walnut bedside tables with marble tops bring texture without noise.

On the far wall, deep burgundy bespoke joinery makes the most of the angled ceiling — storage, shelving, and a bookcase built into the slope of the roof. Raspberry red curtains at the Velux window add the first pop of colour, bold but not jarring against the warm neutral walls.

The Dressing Room

The dressing room is where the colour really comes into its own. Floor-to-ceiling burgundy joinery — wardrobes, drawers, and a built-in vanity desk — fills the room with confidence. Brass hardware ties it back to the bedroom. A printed fabric stool and scalloped vanity mirror add personality and a sense of playfulness.

The angled skylight, dressed with deep raspberry curtains, floods the room with light and makes what could have been a difficult architectural feature the focal point of the space.

The En-Suite

The en-suite brief was about serenity and maximising a tight footprint. A double marble sink unit in striking purple-veined stone sits against a run of dark zellige tiles, with brushed brass wall-mounted taps and pendant lights overhead. The shower is lined in pale herringbone marble tiles, with a built-in niche and brass overhead rose.

Every fitting was chosen to work hard in a small space without compromising on feel. The result is a bathroom that feels indulgent without being excessive.

The Result

What began as a spatial planning brief became a full design project — because that's often how the best work happens. The clients trusted the process, and the result is a loft conversion that feels like it was always meant to be there.

Three rooms. One cohesive vision. A home that finally feels complete.
