This extension to an existing care home in Norfolk involved the addition of a large lounge diner space. Keen to connect the scheme with the Victorian shawl history of Norwich, we worked with Panaz on a muted Paisley style fabric similar to the designs seen in Norwich centuries before. This design was used both as a leading-edge trim on the curtains and on the Howarth chairs from Shackletons. The fitted TV and fireplace unit provides a focal point for the lounge area and a second bespoke design creates a room divider between lounge and kitchen/diner space.
At HomeSmiths we are acutely aware of how important it is for those living in a care home to feel that sense of home. For many residents moving out of their family home and into a care environment for the first time, the change can be huge so how the home looks and crucially it makes them feel when they first come in, will make an enormous difference to how a resident settles.
