A paneled bedroom

 

Today I would like to tell you something more about the design of a bedroom I am currently working on.

One of our clients asked us for help to design and to decorate their master bedroom. They definitely wanted to see their bedroom paneled. As our company Lefèvre Interiors is known for creating paneling, custom made, according to tradition, I was very pleased to start designing this bedroom.

After having browsed a huge file of bedroom images, this image of a bedroom designed by William Heffner, was definitely the kind of bedroom my client wanted us to realize !

I had to take into account that our client absolutely wanted to see a fireplace in the bedroom.

After having discussed our sketches, we started to make the final plans of the bedroom.

The montage of the paneled room is finished.

Below you can see pictures of the paneled room finished with a base coat.

In the meantime, I prepared a proposal of the color palette to use in this bedroom.

As the master bedroom looks out over the beautiful garden, I suggested to bring in a shade of green into the room.

The niches on both sides of the fireplace are of French oak, which I wanted to be limepainted in a shade of green.

I made a selection of Farrow & Ball paint colors for the room,

together with a selection of fabrics and furniture finishes.

Belgian linen will be used for the window treatment.

We finally have chosen for F&B Clunch to finish the paneling and F&B Breakfast Room Green to limepaint the display niches.

I do know that what you see here on this picture below doesn’t look as the chosen colors, but you have to know that it is almost impossible to reproduce the exact colors. Taking these pictures, the niche LED lights arranged in lighting strips were turned on. And using a lime paint finish on oak wood has a totally different look than using an eggshell paint finish.

The previous days I was thinking about the decoration of the bedroom and I would love to see some beautiful decorative items displayed in the niches on both sides of the mantelpiece.

Our client still has to make a lot of choices before the bedroom is totally finished. Furniture, bedding, nightstands, lighting fixtures, bedlinen,…

I would love to see the nightstands with a cream or celadon finish.

This pair of beauties will definitely be seen in the bedroom.

I found the chairs at Garnier Antiques.

I hope you enjoyed my post of today and I do hope to show you the finished bedroom within a few weeks !

 

Talk to you soon !

Lefèvre Interiors & Natalie Haegeman Interiors featured in Belgian magazine

 

I am pleased and honored to announce that our work is featured in the latest issue of one of the leading Belgian interior design & lifestyle magazines : TIJDLOOS wonen !

About a year ago the Belgian interior designer Natalie Haegeman asked our company Lefèvre Interiors for help to realize a library project she designed for one of her clients. Both, Natalie and I, were enthusiastic about this project and now we are proud to show you the result of our teamwork.

The library is made of French oak, not treated, which will give the cabinetry a used, natural patina.

This is a picture of the finished library, decorated by Natalie ! This is one of the featured pictures in the latest issue of the magazine TIJDLOOS wonen.

Library - study rooms where I would like to work

 

Aren’t you agree with me that it must be wonderful to work in one of these library-studyrooms , especially at this time of the year when days become shorter and it is getting colder outside. I love to be surrounded by wood, that definitely makes a study room warm and cozy.

Beamed ceilings

 

Don’t you love beamed ceilings?

Beamed ceilings are of all ages, the Romans loved to use wooden beams to decorate the ceilings of their villas.

Palladio (1508-1580) tried to recapture the splendour of antiquity in the villas he built. This is the ceiling of one of the rooms of Villa Saraceno, Vicenza – Italy, built by Palladio around 1550.

Nowadays architects and designers do love to work with wooden ceilings in their new-built or restored houses. A beamed ceiling adds an important architectural element to any room design.
