Real Homes, Real Transformations

Steph Waring's Living Room

Steph Waring's living room is a study in calm, sophisticated living, designed to feel effortlessly luxurious yet liveable. A soft, neutral palette sets a soothing, sanctuary-like tone, with walls in Farrow & Ball's Slipper Satin and bespoke panelling picked out in Drop Cloth to add depth, texture and a tailored quality. Black accents ground the scheme and lend a refined edge, from slim black picture frames to carefully curated accessories. Underfoot, Karndean's Basque Oak laid in herringbone brings warmth and hardwearing luxury, while a subtle border frames the room and echoes the home's wider aesthetic.
