Rustic living room

This room is the result of months of successful collaboration with many local businesses and tradesmen. The original fireplace had been hidden behind a wall and this was exposed and sandblasted, with missing pieces replaced from a local quarry. The original beams were restored, and the ceilings boarded out so spotlights could be added. All the pine skirting boards were also replaced with oak. Soft furnishings were key as the leather sofas couldn't be replaced, (a matter of logistics as new windows eradicated the way they had entered the room!) so fabrics and rugs were needed to soften the room and bring warmth. We worked with two local businesses to source the woollen fabrics and make the curtains and cushions. A Persian rug supplier in Stockport supplied the perfect rug and sourced matching stair runners from Iran.The finishing touches come from the accessories which were sourced from local charity shops, antique shops and retailers. The end result - a warm and inviting living room.
