Living Room Design - Studio MerkmannLiving/TV Room Design

When considering a living room redesign or designing your living room for the first time, you should not only consider the kinds of activities that will take place in the space but also the kind of feel you want from the room. Whether you want a relaxed, cosy lounge space, a fun family room for the kids, a bright and airy sitting room, or a grander more formal living room, you will need to start by making some practical choices about furniture and storage. As sitting is the primary use for a living room, selecting the right sofa is probably your most important furniture decision. You need to provide adequate seating for the size of your family, plus ideally some additional space for when you entertain guests.

Bedroom Design - Studio MerkmannHow should I layout my bedroom?

The bedroom is the place where we retreat from the stresses and strains of a long day, or gain a little peace and quiet amongst the chaos of family life. That’s why of all the spaces in your home, injecting your own personality and style into your bedroom can be the most rewarding. Designing the perfect bedroom is about more than selecting your bedroom colours, bed and duvet covers – choosing the right layout is just as important as fabric, wallpaper and accessories. That said, the bedroom is a sensory space, so the tactile quality of your options can be an important factor when deciding on bedroom furniture, bed linen, lighting and flooring.

We create custom fittings for your bedroom to give you the feel and ambiance you want out of your bedrooms. All furniture and fittings are had made and designed.

Bathrooms

There are few places in the home that offer the solitude of bathrooms, so it makes sense to make it as tranquil and relaxing an environment as possible. The great news is that luxury in bathrooms doesn’t have to be limited to candlelit baths. The most common option for creating a luxury bathroom feel is installing a freestanding roll top bath. If you’re not much of a bather, or you only have a small bathroom to contend with, a bathroom redesign is the time to do away with the bathtub and install that spa-worthy power shower you’ve always wanted – walk in showers and wet rooms have become a major feature of luxury bathroom redesigns in recent years.

Modern Kitchens

Kitchens are used for so much more than just cooking and storing food, they’re also often the best spot in the home to entertain and the place where much of family life takes place. That’s why a kitchen design should adapt to suit your household, reflecting both function and style. Space is often a premium and so some of us have to work with a small kitchen, but whatever size and space you’ve got to work with, there’s a perfect kitchen for you; just take a look at photos of beautifully designed kitchens from all around the world to find large and small kitchen ideas. islands and appliances from different designers into a single space, taking the opportunity to truly showcase your kitchen’s personality.

But once you find the right builders, it won’t seem so daunting. Builders will be able to source the right materials, employ specialist workers for each job and complete the build to a high spec. All builders should be able to carry out a large range of construction work but it’s always important to thoroughly research building firms before employing them so you can be sure they can handle your specific project and that you can find a builder you can really trust.

Shoji Doors  Design

Studio Merkmann has a wide range of shoji screens from the very traditional to the very complex and modern. Shoji are now integrated into a variety of home styles and serve many different functions. Shoji Doors / Screens can be utilised as room dividers, window and door treatments, internal doors, partitions, cabinets or wall coverings to enhance the sense of spaciousness and light in any room. Their simplicity and natural calming effect on a room has led to many effective applications.

Their flexibility allows for a creative blending of form and function and, as a small ‘hands on’ shop, we can accomodate custom designs and sizing.

The Shoji screen is one of many Japanese architectural elements that have been successfully adopted by the west. In traditional Japanese architecture, a Shoji is a door, window or room divider consisting of translucent paper over a frame of wood which holds together a lattice of wood or bamboo. While washi is the traditional paper, Shoji may be made of paper made by modern manufacturing processes; plastic is also in use.

Studio Merkmann constructed a piece of furniture for me which was fairly complex. It consisted of a large site for a very big TV device plus hanging space and drawers on either side. It was done using excellent quality wood. The workmanship was absolutely superb and the piece of furniture has been functional with me for a number of years now.
