Nestled in the heart of Henley-on-Thames, The Old Armistice is a property that blends classic elegance with modern living. With its rich history and distinctive period features, this two-bedroom apartment required a sensitive and thoughtful approach to its interior design. Enter SJ Interior Designs, who expertly curated the space, ensuring that the staging reflected the property’s original charm while introducing contemporary touches for today’s lifestyle.

Honoring the Past: A Celebration of Period Features

The design process at The Old Armistice began with a deep respect for the home’s original architecture. The property, with its graceful period details, was a testament to Henley’s timeless charm. With this in mind, SJ Interior Designs focused on creating a space that would not only enhance the historic features but also provide a fresh, welcoming atmosphere for modern living.

From the moment you step inside, the design embraces the character of the home—highlighting the high ceilings, classic mouldings, and the elegant windows. The original features are showcased through soft colour palettes that complement the natural light streaming into the rooms, enhancing the property’s period charm without overwhelming it.

A Perfect Blend of Classic and Contemporary

The furniture selection, provided by Home Fix Boutique, played a pivotal role in bringing the vision of The Old Armistice to life. Carefully chosen to reflect both the period elegance of the apartment and the modern needs of today’s lifestyle, the pieces created a harmonious balance.

• Timeless Elegance: Large statement pieces such as the 5ft Grey Davina Base and Mattress and the 4ft Cream Velvet Davina Base and Mattress bring a luxurious feel to the bedrooms, while the Gold and Black Mirrored Dresser adds a touch of glamour that complements the apartment’s classic features.
• Cozy Comfort: The Accent Chair in Velvet and a selection of soft throws and cushions offer comfort and warmth, inviting you to relax in the space. The varied selection of rugs (four in total) and table lamps enhance the ambiance, creating a feeling of coziness without detracting from the property’s stately architecture.
• Sophisticated Details: Small, yet impactful details such as the gold and white side tables, black mirrored side table, and the framed artwork all contribute to the home’s atmosphere, adding a sense of opulence that’s perfectly in keeping with the property’s rich history.

A Thoughtful and Functional Layout

Beyond the furniture, the layout was designed to honor the apartment’s architectural flow while ensuring that each room served a distinct purpose. The design included everything from customised lighting solutions to carefully placed mirrors that reflect light and enhance the sense of space.
