Amazing transformation in my home and my life!
I love seeing friends’ reactions when they walk into the space.
I’d seen your work for another client and wanted the same.
I really liked your approach, always looking outside the box for solutions. You came up with exciting ideas I’d never have thought of. You introduced me to a whole new world of design. Brands and styles I didn’t know existed. Everything was possible!
You were accessible and responded to questions quickly. You’re great listeners. The design plans and models were detailed down to the tiniest calculation. You laid out the project with a clear schedule of work so I could see my financial commitments. I had total confidence your vision would work.
And what a transformation! Before everything was a squash, now it’s so spacious. It’s a tranquil space where I’m creative and love to entertain, feeling immersed in the garden through the sliding glass doors.
I’ve made new friends of you both and definitely recommend your interior design service. I’m lucky to have found you.

the design

Originally a kitchen with an adjoining jumble of small utility rooms and pantries. A clogged space of conflicting doors and walls. The result of unplanned extensions and additions through the years.

Studio Hazeldean carefully expanded this into a contemplative interior, free of visual clutter. A minimal kitchen, dining and living space, to rest the mind and promote creativity.

As an experimental cook, the client needed a professional kitchen. Everything’s concealed within custom cabinets with no distraction from the clean lines. A self venting induction hob eliminates an overhead extractor and keeps the main cook area open. The light diffusing window blind references Japanese paper shoji screens.

A custom designed dining table, made in collaboration with an artisanal metal worker, connects to the kitchen island for simple dining. It transforms by rotating into the room to seat eight for evening entertaining. The lighting design tracks the table, changing to create a different ambience.

The table top is cut from the same sintered stone as the worktop, so when connected they flow together as a single piece. Steam bent low backed chairs soften the angular stone.

Calm and harmony are achieved through the use of simple geometric forms - the lounge chair, side table, hanging wall rug and lamp - balanced by unusual botanicals.

Natural materials of wood, stone and wool add textural contrast. A soft tonal palette of clay, bleached oak and straw with black accents.
