Stamford Brook: A Serene, Luxurious Bedroom Wing

For this West London project, we designed and made the joinery for a master bedroom, master dressing room, and a bedroom that does double duty as a daughter’s room and a guest room. Here’s a look at what went into each one.

Around it, full-height wardrobes wrap three sides of the room in a soft Little Greene Clay Mid, with a subtle beaded detail running across the doors. Inside, shoes get their own angled shelving, pulled out or fixed, keeping everything visible rather than lost at the back of a cupboard. Everything’s lit from within, and the island echoes the same beading as the wardrobes, tying the whole room together as one idea rather than several.

One practical constraint shaped the layout here: an existing radiator that needed to stay. Rather than working around it awkwardly, the joinery was planned to bring the radiator within the scheme rather than have it interrupt it.

The Master Bedroom

This room had a simpler brief: don’t let the joinery shout.

The wardrobes are finished in the same Clay Mid, but designed to read as part of the wall rather than furniture sitting in front of it. Skirting and cornice run right around the room without a single break, and there isn’t a handle in sight.

Behind the open shelving, soft antique-white wallpaper adds a bit of texture, with each little display cubby lit by its own gentle downlight.

The cleverest bit of problem-solving in the whole project happened here, hiding the air conditioning. Rather than have a unit on show, we built it into the back of the wardrobes with discreet ventilation slots. A concealed jib door leads through to the dressing room, continuing the panelling across its face until the opening effectively vanishes when closed.

The Daughter’s and Guest Bedroom

This one had to work two ways: personal enough for every day, tidy enough for guests.

We finished the wardrobes in a softer, lighter neutral with warm brass knobs to lift it. Above the bed, a floating shelf with a brass gallery rail gives somewhere to keep books and little things without them sliding off.

The one constraint here was an existing air conditioning unit that wasn’t being replaced, meaning the units had to be a little narrower than we’d have liked. We adjusted the design to keep it feeling generous, just cleverly.
