Take a (bespoke banquette) seat! One of the many advantages of bespoke design is the ability to create precisely the right furniture for any space, and at Mowlem &Co we also specialise in beautiful banquette or bench style seating, whether for built-in dining booths, boot rooms, hallways, dressing rooms, studies, bedrooms, bay windows...wherever maximising space, comfort – and in some cases extra storage – would be a benefit.

This is a wonderful solution for a tricky space in this cozy kitchen featuring a beaded backsplash and shiny black granite counters.

The accent arm armchair on the marble patterned floor makes a perfect reading corner in the room. The large bookshelf is a bespoke design spreading on the entire length of the wall. The opposite wall fits in a fold down hydraulic bed unit attached to a couch making the space utilization more efficient. The warm tones of the bedroom and the powder room makes it a beautiful notch of the house. Prashant Bhat
