Caroline Cobbold Design

Full redecoration of an Edwardian Villa.

The client wanted a new scheme that brought colour and life to the family home.

For this project Caroline worked alongside an architect to gut and modernise the kitchen area. The outcome was, a large six bedroom Victorian family house with a garden that opens out directly onto the Heath. Original features were retained and lost cornicing was repaired and replaced where necessary.

A basement floor was built to contain a concealed maintenance room, a laundry room, wine cellar and general storage area.

This was a returning client for Caroline Cobbold.

For this four floor period town house, Caroline worked with a project managing company for a full architectural interior design. It was gutted and the internal space reconfigured completely, with a full redecoration throughout.

The client had lived in this penthouse apartment since 1992 and it needed updating. Structurally it remained them same, however Caroline added a new bathroom, new smart heating throughout, new roof terrace, new lighting, updated the kitchen, as well as sanded and re-stained the floor.

Caroline worked closely with the client, whose Indian heritage was important to convey. She created a bright modern feel with plenty of light, full of decorative finishes like lacquered walls, hand stencilled concrete floors and interesting fabrics.
