Span House

The entrance hall was designed around the eye-catching Crucial Trading striped carpet running up the stairs, and creating a joyful thread of spring colour that runs through the whole house. Porcelanosa tiles throughout the ground floor are durable and easy to maintain in this hard working space, and also help to bounce the light around. My client's favourite colour is orange, and this colour can be seen in the choice of paint colour for the inside of the front door and the tap in the cloakroom, both adding a touch of playfulness to the space. The Pooky 'Sweetie' lamp base works with the striped carpet, whilst the black and white lampshade provides contrast, keeping the colours from being too overwhelming. Selecting a console table with drawers provides much needed storage for keys and dog leads, and a space for shoes. In the cloakroom we chose Cole & Son wallpaper, presents an unexpected conversation piece and adds softness to the hard floor tiles and bathroom fittings.
