B R I E F | Our client came to us with a simple yet striking statement: “I hate my home and hate spending time there. My living room is home for my dog and storage.” Appointed to transform this elegant one-bedroom flat within a grand Victorian mansion, House of Margot set out to create a space that embodied high-end boutique luxury. The mission was clear—to turn a lifeless, uninspiring home into a sanctuary of refined elegance and elevated comfort.
S C O P E O F W O R K | Initially commissioned for the living room alone, our design vision quickly resonated with the client. Delighted with the transformation, she expanded the scope to include the bedroom, bathroom, hallway, and kitchen—allowing us to craft a cohesive and luxurious home that exudes elegance in every corner.
F L O O R P L A N + F L O W | We reimagined the spatial planning to optimise both function and aesthetic harmony, creating a considered balance between living and dining areas.
E L E C T R I C A L + H E A T I N G P L A N S | A sophisticated new lighting plan was implemented to introduce layers of illumination—balancing task and ambient lighting to evoke a rich, moody boutique hotel feel as evening falls. Every fixture was carefully selected to enhance both form and function, creating a home that transitions effortlessly from day to night.
I N T E R I O R D E S I G N | Our approach blended understated opulence with timeless refinement, crafting a space that feels indulgent yet effortless. Luxe textures, curated materials, and thoughtfully selected furnishings were layered to achieve a serene yet striking aesthetic.
F F & E | Every detail was curated to perfection, with a £50k budget dedicated to the finest furniture, fixtures, and equipment. From custom-designed furnishings to exquisite textiles, each piece was sourced, procured, and installed to align seamlessly with the overall vision.
P R O J E C T C O O R D I N A T I O N | Bi-weekly site meetings ensured seamless progress, with meticulous oversight of every stage of execution.
C L I E N T L I A I S O N | As the sole point of contact between the client and contractors, we ensured a stress-free experience—translating our client’s vision into reality with clarity, expertise, and care.
R E S U L T S | The transformation is nothing short of extraordinary—a space that whispers luxury in the most refined way. A beautifully curated home, where every detail has been considered and every feature accentuated. From scattered Tom Ford books to a bespoke Fendi rug, from Diptyque candles delicately placed to highlight the room’s grandeur to sumptuous textures that add depth and warmth—this space is a true balance of homeliness and high-end indulgence. The design not only enhances the home’s breathtaking period features but allows them to take centre stage once more, restoring the property to its full glory.
