BESPOKE LIVING ROOMS
UNPARALLELED CRAFTSMANSHIP
We believe the living room is the place where friends and family gather to share conversations and make memories, whether it’s unwinding after a busy day at work or pouring guests a glass of wine at a dinner party. That’s why at HAUHAU, our bespoke living rooms combine timeless design with the world's finest materials and unmatched craftsmanship.
Whether it’s Calacatta Oro marble with its dramatic veining cascading up the wall to serve as a piece of art itself, or rich American black walnut with a scalloped hand finish that sits below state-of-the-art home entertainment systems with surround sound systems integrated tastefully into the design, HAUHAU creates bespoke living rooms that are uniquely designed to meet your exact needs and align with your preferences.
We work tirelessly to source the highest quality materials available, partnering with leading luxury appliance brands to ensure your bespoke living room is both stunning in design and practical in functionality.
Each design is created entirely from scratch, with no templates, no shortcuts; this ensures our every decision is made with you at the forefront of our mind and helps us achieve our goal of not only meeting, but surpassing your expectations.
SUCCESS STORIES
The Lakes By Yoo House
This beautiful property, located just outside The Cotswolds, showcases bespoke craftsmanship at its finest, demonstrating 150 years of expertise and artisan heritage. The bespoke open-plan kitchen design featured hand-selected beige-grey stained oak, leather inlays, scalloped finishes, and bronze accents from cutting-edge sound systems, that expands into an inviting living area where everyday living feels indulgent
The Montpellier Street Residence
During our time at the Montpellier Street Residence, we created a gorgeous bespoke living room that put the client’s daily life first, built for all the quiet moments and cherished gatherings that make a house truly a home. Handcrafted cabinetry built to hold all the treasures that tell your life story; every carefully considered detail creates that long-sought-after moment of feeling completely and truly at home.
“We recently decided to remodel our kitchen, and after looking at various luxury brands, it was clear that a HAUHAU kitchen was for us.
We instantly fell in love with the elegant yet modern design and sympathetic use of beautiful materials. It was important for us that our most used room wasn’t “style over substance”. Ben listened to how we use our space and took on board our extensive wish list and came up with the most beautiful designs, incorporating ideas that we would never have thought of ourselves. He was so accommodating with my constant questions and “what abouts?” and would always explain why something would or would not work or come up with a way to improve upon an idea.
We loved that we were included in the design process to create our perfect family space; it has made the room so much more personal and bespoke to us.
HAUHAU excelled themselves, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them, not only for their designs and quality of craftsmanship but also for their ability to communicate, share their knowledge, and understand the customers’ needs.
We certainly didn’t get “style over substance”. What we did get was the most stylish and substantial kitchen we could have imagined!”
— Mr & Mrs Arundel
WHAT IS A BESPOKE LIVING ROOM?
A bespoke living room represents the ultimate expression of home luxury. It's where you and your loved ones gather most – morning coffee conversations, peaceful afternoon reading, evening entertainment, or simply relaxing with loved ones in an environment that is comfortable but tasteful. It's functional but also beautifully designed to feel like part of the home's existing aesthetic and character. Every handcrafted cabinet, hand-selected stone surface, and hand-finished detailing is individually selected for you and your unique space.
THOUGHTFUL SPACE ORCHESTRATION
Every bespoke living room begins with understanding your unique home’s architecture, personal taste, and daily routine. Whether creating an intimate space for your peaceful family gatherings or a statement room for entertaining, our designs start and end with putting you and your preferences above all else. We create designs that respect your home's existing aesthetics whilst creating a new, yet natural, design flow from the living room and beyond.
HANDCRAFTED BUILT-IN EXCELLENCE
Master craftsmen handcraft bespoke cabinetry and storage systems using only the highest quality materials available, selected for both beauty and longevity. Each design receives individual attention, including hand-cut joinery, thoughtfully designed shelving, and precision hardware installation, all designed for decades of daily use.
HIGH-QUALITY SURFACE SELECTION
We source the world's finest materials only from trusted suppliers who meet our unwavering quality standards, allowing us to create bespoke designs that combine stunning visual impact with uncompromising durability. From Calacatta Oro marble that sets the backdrop for a modern fireplace to beige-grey stained oak cabinetry handcrafted to provide ample storage space for your bespoke living room, every surface is hand-selected to create a space that’s perfect for you.
thoughtfully selected lighting fixtures that bring a level of sophistication to the design; every aspect is individually selected to complement the overall design of your bespoke living room.
INTEGRATED ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS
Professional-grade entertainment and lighting systems are expertly incorporated into your bespoke designs, carefully chosen to complement the chosen colour palettes and reach your desired end look. HAUHAU creates signature Vantage Walls that embody the peak of sophisticated luxury home entertainment, with each bespoke media wall featuring a handmade wood fin, a carefully chosen metal arch frame, and a detailed hand finish that creates a truly unforgettable design specifically for you.
THE HAUHAU DESIGN PROCESS
-
Our expert design team will take your initial concepts and elevate them beyond your wildest dreams, guiding you through every step of the process as we make it a reality.
Our philosophy is to work in close partnership with our clients, providing creative and innovative solutions through genuine collaboration and careful consideration of your needs and desires.
Once we receive your inquiry, we will contact you to introduce ourselves and discuss the outline of your project. Along with your ideas and brief, we will require a plan to work from. This can be in the form of your architect’s drawings or, if there is a physical space, ideally a visit to your residence to carry out a survey.
Following this process we can begin to prepare your design.
-
After our first consultation, our expert design team will work on your concept, developing, enhancing, and elevating it beyond your expectations into a truly remarkable design.
From our initial sketches, we will prepare full working CAD drawings along with visuals, palettes, and material choices—from your primary finish through to your internal colorway—for your review.
-
Once you have commissioned HAUHAU for your project, we will finalize any changes you may wish to make to your design, appliance list, material choices, and then proceed to contract your order.
At this stage we will engage with your contractors, and any other parties involved with your project to provide the relevant information they require (along with mechanical and electrical working drawings) and will remain in constant communication with them to monitor your schedule, ensuring everything stays on track.
-
Your order will now enter production in our workshop.
We pride ourselves on the meticulous quality of craftsmanship achieved by our expert cabinet makers.
The HAUHAU workshop is not a production line.
Every project is assigned to one maker at a time, who crafts and hand-makes every aspect of your order to exacting standards by combining cutting-edge technology with the most exquisite of materials.
It is in this way that we have truly set ourselves apart and surpassed the industry with our standard.
-
Now it is time for your design to become a reality!
After diligently managing your project's schedule to ensure a smooth and on-time fulfillment, HAUHAU will deliver and install your furniture to the very highest standard while ensuring the utmost consideration for your residence.
-
On completion of your new kitchen, we arrange for renowned chef Elliot Johnson-Paul of JP Dining to come in and prepare a complimentary private dining experience in your new space to ensure you truly experience every aspect in its full glory.
Simply sit back, relax, and enjoy your new HAUHAU kitchen.
