The Brief
The room boasted incredible height, and we knew we had to celebrate it. The brief was to design a space that felt substantial and grand—reminiscent of a classic university library rather than a standard townhouse TV room. To achieve this, we utilised every single inch of vertical space.
The Statement
The anchor of the room is the magnificent, deep-stained cherry wood unit. It beautifully commands the entire wall, bringing a warmth, richness, and gravity unique to natural timber. It is refined, completely bespoke, and showcases custom joinery at its finest.

The Details
The custom ladder is a beautiful feature in its own right—precision-engineered on a sleek metal rail to provide effortless access to the upper shelving. Beyond framing the styled library shelves, the bespoke cabinetry houses both an integrated desk and a home cinema projector. This versatility allows the room to transition from a productive workspace to a relaxing home cinema, demonstrating how technology can be woven into a design without overpowering the space.
The Finished Media Room
Paired with plush leather recliners, the design balances the rich, dark timber with soft, modern comfort. It recaptures the timeless, inviting atmosphere of a classic gentleman’s parlour, redesigned perfectly for contemporary living. See more of our media rooms.
