DESIGN PROCESS
Our plan made every available nook a useful space in this compact low ceiling basement. We created enclosed games storage and then a desk with overhead storage making the awkward shape, super practical.
To create cohesion and a seamless link between this room and the rest of the basement we chose to run the same flooring throughout and to continue the panelling.
We wanted to make the scheme unique and personal for the children and wanted to highlight the architectural arch. We designed and created a bespoke built in feminist Doll’s house. A Doll’s house that inspires a life for girls beyond domestic living. A house with a CEO office, disco and gym. With hand illustrations and featuring the children’s names, every single element hand crafted.
We chose not to clutter the space with traditional furniture and to keep it mobile and fun. Swinging chairs and bean bags that could be easily moved by the children. The furniture was scaled to their height.
a stylish but practical space
We wanted a space for our girls that would be age appropriate today (4 and 7) but also a space to grow into. Emma Kosh Interior Design created a stylish but practical space that has great storage but fun touches like the hanging chairs. They love the bespoke feminist doll’s house, as do all of their friends!
