The narrow room at the end of the house
Published
A georgian townhouse, conceived for Bath.
A long room invites the temptation to push a table into every gap. Here, the sofa stays against the plaster wall and a little games table takes the far end. Between them, the open strip beside the glass lets the garden remain easy to reach, even with a book left open and a game still in progress.
See the product sourcesTHE DESIGN
Indigo linen gives the sofa a clear outline against the pale pink plaster. Above it, small landscapes and decorative plates bring the scale down from the long rooflight to the height of someone sitting.
The second table makes the far end worth walking to. It is a useful distinction in a narrow room: the sofa is for stretching out, while the two chairs offer somewhere to sit upright with a board game or coffee.
WHY THE ROOM WORKS
Two small places to settle sit beside one uninterrupted path to the garden.
Colour palette
- Indigo
- Blush plaster
- Tobacco
- Deep green
The route stays legible
The main furniture sits to one side, leaving the glazed edge open.
Dark upholstery, pale wall
Indigo makes a compact sofa feel substantial without darkening the whole room.
Pictures at sitting height
Small framed work and plates give the solid wall interest close to the seats.
WHAT TO BORROW
In a long room, place a second useful activity at the far end and preserve the route to it.
