The Results
What we did
A family home in need of updating and an injection of character. The interiors needed to function both practically and aesthetically, taking into account the majestic moorland setting. Ashton House Design were asked to consider electrical and lighting solutions, room layouts, decorating specifications, floor finishes, furniture, furnishings and window treatments. The family kitchen is a particular triumph, where careful planning of layouts, joinery and finishes that include an eye catching copper eglomise mirrored Aga splashback all contribute. Original lighting comes by way of an arrangement of delicate porcelain pendants, huge enamel shades and a blend of task and ambient lighting to suit a range of activities whatever the time of day. The mix of counter seating, comfy sofa, swivel armchairs and dining chairs sees all the family’s needs met – dining, snacking, relaxing, watching tv, doing homework or just admiring the spectacular view.
The Result
A Dartmoor home that complements its fabulous location whilst providing the ultimate comfortable family home. The interiors are designed to be lived in and to be enjoyed at every turn.
The moment of truth
What did they think?
"From their initial design input on three of our bedrooms, several years ago, the team at Ashton House Design have embraced each new challenge with enthusiasm and imagination. Repeatedly they have delivered on their promise to design appealing, practical spaces as diverse as bedrooms, bathrooms, a large kitchen/diner, holiday lets and (most recently) a detached home office that has transformed the prospect of working from home! In the near future, I hope to harness their extensive experience of spa projects to add their distinctive hallmark to the interior of a new pool project of our own. Whilst often pushing us beyond our comfort zone, they have always listened attentively to our own preferences, and have also shown great skill at communicating with our contractors. At all times, they have gone to great lengths to ensure that the experience of remodelling our house has been as stress free and enjoyable as possible – and I have no hesitation in recommending their highly professional and creative services to anyone seeking to safeguard the outcome of their project.
