In a collaborative project with Kelmscott Studio, the team transformed the former office space into a refined and understated family home. As an interior designer in Bath with extensive experience in listed buildings, our approach carefully balanced the property’s historic character with a more contemporary and liveable layout.

Working within the constraints of its listed status, each space was sympathetically designed to restore original features such as cornicing, sash windows and fireplaces, while ensuring the home functions seamlessly for modern living. Celebrating the proportions of the building, bespoke joinery and thoughtful space planning were central to improving flow while maintaining architectural integrity.

The success of the project lies in the careful layering of natural hues and earthy tones, enriched by moments of interest through stylised furniture and collected objects. The result is a calm, cohesive interior that feels inviting, mature and considered, a timeless home that subtly balances contemporary living with its historic Bath setting.
