As part of a full house refurbishment project for a growing family, we created a new principal suite on the top floor of a four-bedroom Victorian terraced house. This extension allowed the clients to stay in their current home rather than move. This was especially important to them as the local school intake area was very small and one of their children was already on the waiting list.
Previously there was a storage cupboard at the top of the stairs which had been used as excess storage for the rest of the house, it hadn’t been the best used of space but it was going to be perfect in its new role as a dressing area that would sit outside the main walk-in.
It’s a lovely spot for getting ready with drawers, shelving, and good lighting from the new pendant light and also from the skylight above. This bedroom had previously been a guest bedroom.
It is a very tricky space as the ceiling height offers little full height space. This bedroom had previously been a guest bedroom. It is a very tricky space as the ceiling height offers little full height space.
Pendants for bedside lighting were chosen so that the bedside tabletops were left clear for other items, and the use of an additional little shelf above the bedside tables created yet more storage options for glasses, accessories, or any other necessary bedside matter. On the other side of the room, we placed a beautiful vintage sideboard; vintage pieces always add more interest and more of a tale to a space.
