A room was converted into a music den. This is Andrew’s pride and joy. Here he spends many hours experimenting with the latest sound systems. He had always dreamed of having a room like this – now it’s finally come true. Worked round a black and white theme, the effect is stunning and dramatic. Matching black and white accents were included with touches of brass for contrast.

Bedroom

In this is a queen-size bed, a credenza and a wardrobe-cum-dresser. Color scheme: blue. This can also be used as a guestroom and has a pullout bed-sofa and card table (a mahjong table, too, if required). There is a small dresser with the wardrobe. The color scheme proposed: brown and gold. If you study the layouts closely, you will discover that while space has been utilized, a lot has been saved. That’s sensible planning.

Lounge

In the lounge is a three seater sofa, two armchairs and a settee – all upholstered and covered in brown-pink fabric. The wallpaper is pastel pink with a monochromatic “island” carpet. Tables and side-tables are in light-textured wood to blend with the pastel scheme. There is a small panel on one of the walls to give an illusion of depth and help to “frame-up” the setting as a whole with some artwork and potted plants to make things cool and cozy.

Dining Area

Six people could sit quite comfortably and enjoy their meals at the space-saving dining table. The table is also in light wood to match the lounge furniture. Right beside it in a corner, is a cabinet for cutlery, crockery and some decorative items. A tall plant near one wall sets off the theme. Notice how the continuity from the lounge is a maintained? There is a sideboard (3ft high) next to the tall plant which can be used as a display cabinet. A large piece of artwork on a wall which faces the dining set is recommended, and a low pendant lamp over the table.
