There's a proportion to Camden's Georgian and Victorian reception rooms that new houses rarely get near. We renovate these rooms carefully, bringing back the original detail and adding the comforts that make them a pleasure to actually live in.
The Georgian drawing rooms on Gloucester Crescent, Regent's Park Terrace and Camden Square have the height, the tall sash windows and the classical plasterwork. Our approach here is quiet and precise. We repair and restore every original feature with traditional materials, then slip in modern lighting, heating and technology with the lightest touch we can manage.
Victorian reception rooms in Kentish Town, Chalk Farm and Gospel Oak are warmer and more decorated. Ornate cornicing, tiled fireplaces, stained glass fanlights. We keep and lift those details while updating the guts of the room and adding made to measure joinery, good art lighting and integrated media.
Canal side and conversion properties are different again. Here we make a feature of the odd proportions. Exposed structure, industrial windows, open plan layouts that give you a characterful alternative to the usual period reception room.
Camden holds some of the finest period living rooms in London. Georgian restraint and Victorian decoration sit side by side across the borough, and each one calls for its own approach.
Camden Council's conservation rules keep the standard of work up, and the people who live here notice good design. A well done Camden living room gives you architectural beauty and modern comfort at the same time, every single day.
“SOM restored our Georgian drawing room on Camden Square down to the last detail. The plasterwork, the shutters, the marble fireplace, all brought back. And the hidden speakers and lighting are a lovely touch.”

From knocking through a wall to the last coat of paint, our team delivers a neat finish with as little disruption to the house as possible.
We use traditional fibrous plaster methods to fix and restore cornicing, ceiling roses and mouldings. Missing or damaged runs are recast by specialist plasterers using moulds taken to match the original profiles.
Yes. We repair, rehang and refinish the original timber shutters, swapping out damaged parts for matching timber. If the shutters are long gone we have reproductions made to match the profiles and proportions of your windows.
Underfloor heating instead of bulky radiators, recessed lighting instead of surface fittings, and hidden cabling that links media and smart home kit out of sight. The room keeps its character and gains the comfort you'd expect today.
