Georgian Townhouse

A Grade I listed Bath townhouse where contemporary design is carefully balanced with Georgian scale and architectural presence.

Entrance Hall and Staircase

A neutral colour scheme is brought to life with a bold contemporary stair runner, modern light fittings and the simple beauty of the original stone staircase, complete with French-polished handrail and iron balustrades.

Dining Room

The high ceilings, elegant cornicing, tall sash windows and a restrained warm neutral palette allow the architecture to take the lead whilst the clean-lined contemporary dining furniture, statement glass chandelier, simple fireplace and discreet built-in shelving create an interior that feels elegant, light and luxurious.

drawing Room

In the drawing room, wall mouldings were introduced to create a restrained panelled effect, helping sleek Italian furniture and a low modern sideboard sit more comfortably within the generous proportions of the space. Large-scale light fittings, conceived as contemporary interpretations of chandeliers, draw the eye down and create a stronger relationship with the architecture.

Withdrawing Room

Beyond, the adjoining withdrawing room offers a quieter setting for watching television, with a triptych of woodland photographs providing a calm and atmospheric backdrop.

Bedrooms

The bedroom images show the more private spaces within the townhouse, where the contemporary direction continues in a softer and more restful way.

Contemporary Design Within a Grand Georgian Townhouse

High ceilings, elegant cornicing, tall sash windows and a restrained warm neutral palette allow the architecture to lead. Clean-lined contemporary dining furniture, a statement glass chandelier, a simple fireplace and discreet built-in shelving add balance and refinement, creating a dining space that feels elegant, light and quietly luxurious.

Having lived in both the US and Europe, our clients were drawn to a more contemporary interior style but wanted it to sit comfortably within a grand Georgian home. Earlier choices had felt lost against the generous ceiling heights, substantial fireplaces and majestic sash windows, so the scheme needed greater scale and presence.
