Interior Decoration & Styling
This four-bedroom period London terrace, has been transformed from a blank canvas into a characterful home.
A complete turnkey project, every room has been thoughtfully designed and fully furnished, with new furniture and bespoke elements tailored to our client. Layered textures, curated furniture, and beautifully balanced colour palettes now flow seamlessly throughout, elevating the property from the welcoming hallway to the bright kitchen opening onto the garden.
To bring warmth and personality to the home, we sourced artwork and decorative pieces that add depth, meaning, and a sense of lived-in beauty. The result is a cohesive and inviting environment, personalise to our client.

More About This Garden Room Design in Essex
This project centres on the creation of a beautifully considered garden room at the far end of a family home in Essex - a serene, multifunctional retreat designed to sit effortlessly within the surrounding natural habitat. With its soft organic shapes, natural materials and gentle colour palette, the space feels like a seamless extension of the garden itself. Conceived as a luxurious yet relaxed escape, this garden room design in Essex brings together comfort, versatility and a sense of calm, offering the family a place to unwind, entertain and enjoy year-round.
Interior Design Services Provided
Our work encompassed the full interior design of this Dutch-barn-style garden room, from concept and spatial planning through to lighting design, sourcing, purchasing and full styling. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to ensure the space blended beautifully with its environment while meeting the family’s need for a multifunctional haven. As part of the complete service, we designed a layout that accommodates three distinct zones - relaxing, dining and games - while ensuring that each area flows harmoniously within the overall garden and room design.
Rooms Included in This Project
Although it is a single building, this project involved designing several carefully defined zones within the garden room. Inside, we created a relaxed living area, a compact but fully functional kitchen space and a bathroom, making the structure feel like a self-contained mini retreat. The garden room opens onto a tranquil outdoor seating area for quiet reading and relaxation, while a separate side terrace provides a dedicated dining and bar area ideal for entertaining. Taken together, these spaces form a versatile, thoughtfully designed garden living experience in Essex.
Design Style & Inspiration
The design is grounded in natural beauty and organic simplicity. We chose a palette of soft, earthy hues and tactile materials that mirror the surrounding landscape, allowing the interior to feel cocooning yet connected to nature. Gentle curves, warm textures and a harmonious flow between inside and out give the space a restful, timeless quality. A soft dusky-pink sofa acts as a focal point, its subtle colour echoing evening light in the garden beyond. This project demonstrates how an outstanding garden room design brings architecture, landscape and interior elements together in quiet dialogue.
Materials, Colours & Finishes
Natural materials such as warm timbers, textured fabrics and matt finishes bring a tactile authenticity to the interior. The palette is soothing and understated - muted tones, warm neutrals and soft pinks that feel both contemporary and organic. These choices allow the architecture to shine while supporting the multifunctional nature of the space. Thoughtfully positioned lighting adds atmosphere and definition, enhancing the transitions between each interior zone and the inviting outdoor living spaces.
Furniture, Lighting & Sourcing
Each piece of furniture was selected to support comfort, versatility and style. The seating is plush yet refined, the kitchen elements are compact but beautifully executed, and the bathroom is designed with care. Accessories, artworks and styling pieces were chosen to create warmth and character without overwhelming the natural serenity of the space. Everything works together to elevate this luxurious garden room in Essex into something truly special.
Challenges & Solutions
The creative challenge lay in designing a multifunctional structure that feels cohesive, spacious and beautifully calm, despite its relatively compact footprint. By dividing the space into distinct zones we created a layout that adapts effortlessly to different uses - from watching sports and playing games to reading, socialising or hosting guests. The blend of natural elements and soft contemporary style ensured the garden room feels grounded within its setting while offering all the comfort of an interior space.
The Garden Room Setting
The mix of open landscape, mature garden and characterful family home made it an ideal location for a thoughtfully designed garden room. Garden rooms provide valuable additional living space while maintaining a strong connection to the outdoors. When planned with care - using natural materials, layered lighting and flexible layouts - a garden room can become a year-round sanctuary for relaxation and entertaining. This project shows how a carefully design garden room can enhance both lifestyle and landscape.
