Bespoke Living Room Refurbishment in Oxshott

Project Overview

This Victorian property refurbishment in Oxshott transformed a dated living room into a modern, functional family space while retaining the character of the original home.

The project included the construction of a new stud wall, drylining and plastering works, bespoke shelving and cabinetry, electrical upgrades, a new radiator installation, and full redecoration throughout the room. Particular attention was given to creating a premium finish, maximising storage, and integrating the new joinery seamlessly around the existing fireplace.

Lessons Learned

Integrating Bespoke Joinery Around Existing Features

Creating built-in shelving and storage around an existing fireplace required careful planning and accurate measurements. By designing the cabinetry around the chimney breast, we were able to maximise storage while creating a balanced focal point within the room.

Combining Multiple Trades Efficiently

This project involved carpentry, drylining, plastering, heating upgrades, electrical work, and decorating within a single room. Coordinating the trades in the correct sequence allowed the project to be completed efficiently while maintaining a premium finish throughout.

Project Outcome

This Victorian living room in Oxshott was transformed from a dated and underutilised space into a modern family room with improved storage, upgraded electrics, new heating, and bespoke built-in shelving.

The completed room now features custom cabinetry, floating shelves, upgraded lighting, a new radiator, and a premium decorating finish. Careful attention to detail throughout the project ensured every element worked together to create a clean, practical, and visually striking space.
