The Challenge
This is an exclusive boutique hotel with breathtaking views over Lake Windermere. Our brief was to transform the old manager’s flat into a romantic suite. Minor structural work was required to divide the space, create showering and bathing for two, and a low luxurious deck bed with feature leather headboard.
Transformational Interiors by the Lake
At the heart of a bustling urban area lies a historic building, whose timeless architecture has long been admired yet underutilised. The interior design project undertaken here aimed to breathe new life into this space, embracing its heritage while modernising the environment. With panoramic views of the lake, the design sought to create an inviting atmosphere that encourages relaxation and engagement, making it a desirable destination for both locals and visitors alike.
Historical revival
The transformation of the interior spaces incorporated a thoughtful blend of contemporary aesthetics with elements that pay homage to the building’s rich history. Carefully curated furnishings complement the original features, creating a cohesive narrative throughout the space. Elegant colour palettes and stylish decor highlight the lake view, enhancing the overall ambience and making the area more appealing to potential customers. This revitalisation not only uplifts the visual experience but also elevates the operational potential of the venue.
Increased interest, footfall and profitability
As a result of these design efforts, there has been a noticeable increase in customer footfall and bookings. The revitalised space fosters a welcoming environment that encourages social interaction, drawing in a diverse clientele. Events and gatherings have flourished, as the updated interior proves ideal for various functions, from casual meet-ups to corporate events. Overall, this interior design project has successfully paved the way for enhanced business opportunities while honouring the historical significance of the building.
