The Foxrock project by Shauna Kelly Interiors was conceived to create a home that embraces a classic contemporary aesthetic. From the initial meeting, it was clear that the clients envisioned a residence that combined luxury with lasting durability and a sense of inviting comfort. They wanted their home to feel elegant yet liveable, achieving a refined atmosphere while maintaining warmth throughout. The brief called for a balance between sophisticated entertaining and the practical needs of comfortable family living. With this in mind, the design incorporated open-concept layouts that encourage flow and conversation, supported by statement lighting and carefully selected focal furniture to enhance visual impact.

A key consideration was the inclusion of a well-equipped kitchen and dining area that would be both beautiful and social. Comfortable lounge areas were also integral, designed for movie nights and relaxation, alongside clearly zoned spaces for play, rest and work. When colour schemes were discussed, the clients expressed a preference for navy and neutral tones. The overall objective was to deliver a home that embodies quiet luxury, where the combination of navy and neutrals creates serenity and confidence. The completed design reflects the clients’ lifestyle, offering both aesthetic and practical longevity while maintaining a polished and personal feel.

The family room was envisioned as a warm, inviting and multifunctional living space. The intention was to strike a perfect balance between comfort and openness, allowing the family to unwind, connect and feel at ease, with seamless flow between indoor and outdoor areas. Objectives included creating a cosy, relaxed atmosphere suitable for gatherings and quiet reflection, maintaining an airy feel, maximising natural light and incorporating comfortable, inclusive seating. Ambient lighting was used to establish a layered mood adaptable from day to evening. Functional layout, subtle hidden storage, and swivel chairs ensured practicality and easy access to the adjoining outdoor living area.

Bespoke joinery played a vital role in the project, merging functionality with refined design. A darker timber finish added depth and formality, while an oil finish highlighted the natural grain and warmth of the wood. Tongue and groove detailing introduced subtle texture and dimension.

The dining and wine room with an adjoining bar was created as a luxurious, moody and intimate space for entertaining. Rich textures, deep tones and carefully planned lighting established a dramatic yet elegant setting.

The games room was developed as a lively, flexible space for children and teens, combining modular seating, hidden storage and interactive features.

The principal bedroom was conceived as an elegant and calming retreat, designed to embody both sophistication and serenity. Featuring a bespoke walk-in wardrobe and a spa-inspired en suite, the space offers a seamless balance of luxury and functionality. A carefully curated palette of rich neutral tones, complemented by natural textures and soft lighting, enhances the sense of tranquillity, refinement, and timeless comfort that defines the entire suite.
