Lefèvre Interiors in Berlin

 

More than a year ago I was contacted by readers of my blog who asked me if I could help them designing a bookcase and if our company would be interested in installing the cabinet in their home nearby Berlin, Germany.

I didn’t hesitate for one moment and started sketching after receiving some pictures of the existing situation of their living room.

The intention was to build a library cabinet on either side of the window.

As I noticed that the window was not centered on the wall, we suggested our client to replace the existing window by a new designed window and to have it centered in order to obtain a symmetrical cabinet arrangement. A profound change on the exterior of their home, but still attainable!

The cabinets are connected by a cornice extending the entire wall. The panelled sides of both cabinets and the created ceiling form a niche towards the window.

 

A few days ago, our Belgian photographer Claude Smekens travelled all the way to Berlin to take a photoshoot of the beautiful home of our client, and sent me these pictures of the living room with the Lefèvre Interiors library cabinets.

The beamed ceiling was painted in a shade of white and the walls were given a new color.The dining table, and a new chandelier found by a local antiques dealer, are now placed at the center of the room.

I absolutely would love to thank our German clients for their confidence in our company and for giving their permission to publish the photos on my blog.

 

Wishing you a fresh start of this new week!

  4. Congratulations on a lovely job, the room looks like it evolved over a long time. You have exceptional workmanship, well done to you and your staff. I believe Berlin city is attractive to people who love the arts. My son did his postgrad in Berlin and still works & lives there.

  5. Well done! The cabinets turned out beautifully and look as if they were always there. They tie in seamlessly with the existing architecture and I like how integrated the doors are into the design.

    Bravo!
