2/10 Living room
The panels and banisters in the hall-cum-living room were sandblasted and washed with a pale treatment. The smiley face light is a modern, mad touch to stop the house feeling too grown up.

5/10 Family room
Originally used as a dining room, the owner made this space into a family living room and stuck to the dark, cosy theme with a deep grey on the walls. It has a gentleman's-study vibe - masculine but also warm and inviting.
