Dulwich

Bespoke Living Room – Dulwich

Dulwich is an area well known for its period homes, leafy charm, and is generally considered an ideal place to live in London. When we received a call from a client looking to update their living room, we knew the design had to reflect the elegant aesthetic while adding a fresh, contemporary look. This project centred around a bespoke media wall, sleek, functional, and ‘houzz’ modelled to enhance both the home’s interior and the client’s lifestyle.

The Brief

The client, a Dulwich resident living in a recently renovated property, wanted a media wall unit that looks like a ‘houzz living room’. They had a few must haves;

  • The design should use natural tones and real wood finishes
  • Don’t want any colours other than Black, White, Natural wood
  • The television should sit within the unit and make it look like a centre piece
  • Storage is required but needs to be discreet
  • Avoid bulky open storage
  • Provide a simple option to place some show piece/candles etc.

Design Solution

Our design team drew inspiration from the home’s interior palette and proposed a layout that played with horizontal and vertical rhythm using warm wood textures and crisp white cabinetry. The design featured white cabinetry framing the space, while a central section of slatted and plain wood panels introduced depth and visual balance. This provided a sophisticated backdrop for the central TV unit, while also offering generous concealed storage.

A floating base unit, made in matching timber, included sleek, handle less drawers to keep the look streamlined. Integrated LED lighting above the wall cladding added a subtle halo effect, softening the ambience and enhancing the natural warmth of the materials. Every element, from the cabinet proportions to the alignment of the panels was designed to perfection with the room’s dimensions and architectural lines, ensuring the installation remained perfect.

Design Highlights

    • Full length Cabinetry with classic wood tones ensured the unique looks with efficient storage
    • Custom wall cladding in a mix of vertical and horizontal wooden slats, creating a visually layered effect
    • Floating base unit with discreet handle less drawers for smart, hidden storage
    • Flush-fit TV housing, making the screen a natural part of the architecture
    • Integrated lighting, providing soft, ambient glow to enhance evening relaxation
