The brief

Zôe's chilly saloon required a cosmetic makeover to feel cosy, comfy and colourful, but with practical seating to allow guests to stay over. She needed a fuel storage solution for the log burner, and the existing kitchen was to be simply updated.

The solution

The Style Counsel devised a pastel sunset scheme that would bring the warmth and colour and relate to the other room designs. Comfort and practicality was achieved using built in seating that turns into a bed for visiting friends. We added essential practicality such as built in stair storage for fuel and the stylish fluted lidded bucket for coal and kindling.

The floor was designed especially for planet friendly Zôe using reclaimed parquet and a candy colour palette to bring the joy that was requested by the brief. Homely touches such as cushions add texture and comfort, and we brought in happy scallop patterns around the door to give an architectural feel.

The kitchen was treated with a lick of mint colour paint and smart brass handles, and modern bar stools that you might not expect to see on a boat.

Zôe changed a couple of plans but embellished our design with her own joyous finishing touches
