Interior and Exterior Design Wiltshire



We at Artemis have a successful design team who are able to transform your existing home into your dream home.
We offer an initial Free consultation making it an offer you cannot refuse!
Artemis is confident in its ability to provide your home with the missing link, the "Wow" factor.

An example of a recent project:

This Detached Country House was based in the Cotswold with 3 acres of land located to the rear and side of the property; unfortunately the rear house elevation overlooked the next door neighbours' garden, not its' own land, with rolling fields fading into the distance. The property was dark as it faced North West and desperately needed new life and light to be brought into the property. The new owners also wanted to extend the living area and install a swimming pool in the garden.

From viewing the property particulars the first thing to stand out was that the property was very bland, in fact the driveway was grey and blended in with the grey Cotswold stone; there was no softness to the property "just a mass of grey" making it very dull.

As you can see from the two sketches a softness was added to the visual appearance of the house using Oak beams - introducing timber is a good way to increase the substantial content of a building whilst making it welcoming and more interesting.

The existing front elevation of the property had a single storey lean-to extension constructed from Cotswold stone and concrete tiles. Whilst this provided additional space within the lounge it was blighted by a huge steel beam which had been installed below the existed ceiling line making it an eyesore the minute you walked into the room. Removing this single extension and constructing a double-storey, gabled front extension not only retained the additional space on the ground floor it also gave additional space to the front three bedrooms allowing an en-suite to be installed in the larger bedroom. Whilst this was a large extension it brought character to the property because of the building materials used; Oak timbers and Georgian designed glass timber windows.


It is appropriate to say at this stage that if Artemis has a steel girder to insert we go to great length to make sure it is installed above ceiling height in order for it not to be noticed.


The existing side elevation of the property (south facing) had a lean-to conservatory which was never used; it also served to block light from one of the main rooms of the house - the kitchen.


Artemis decided to utilise the side elevation to build a glass extension to the house whilst opening up the lounge and kitchen by taking out the main load bearing walls - this would bring the much needed light into the kitchen which could now be used as family room and a lounge which could now boast a snug area ideal for reading. Part of the glass extension would be single storey allowing a balcony to be built over the roof with access to the main bedroom which had the views of the land and rolling hills.

Initial Impressions from a purchasers viewpoint....

Artemis is experienced in making space by opening up rooms, even installing mezanine floors to provide and give that feeling of additional space which seems to be one of the major requirements these days. Additional Space gives the feeling of Freedom and in a busy household what more can be important?

Open up the kitchen into a family room; extend your room into the garden by taking out your load bearing wall and installing bi-fold doors; bring additional light into these rooms; even extend out with an additional building if required.

When it comes to, what is considered to be, the expensive rooms which need refurbishing like kitchens and bathrooms Artemis has a good supply of manufacturers to offer our clients. Price is not our issue we supply from the small basic quality kitchens through to the all singing and all dancing granite, marble, Aga country kitchens; the same goes for the bathrooms.
