The room had incredible height, and the mistake would have been to ignore it. The brief was to create a space that felt substantial, like a university library, rather than a typical townhouse TV room. We needed to use every inch of vertical space.
The anchor here is that colossal, deep-stained cherry unit. It completely dominates the wall, bringing a richness and gravity that you just don’t get with painted furniture. It’s refined, it’s bespoke, it’s joinery crafted the right way.
Let’s talk about the ladder. It’s a precision-engineered tool on a solid metal rail that you actually need to reach the upper shelves of the furniture. The joinery also conceals a desk and a projector. You can go from ‘working from home’ to ‘cinema night’ without seeing a single wire or piece of office clutter.
Paired with plush leather recliners, this room balances the serious, dark wood with soft, modern comfort. It’s a gentleman’s parlour that knows how to relax.
