Bath Francis Gallery, based in the UK, was designed by editor Rosa Park and designer Fred Rigby, with the living space of the family as the background for the artwork. Bath Francis Gallery, which occupies the ground floor of a heritage-listed Georgian townhouse, was designed as a cozy family setting as the designers showed how to coexist with their art. "I wanted this space to exude warmth, first and foremost. When people walk in, they feel completely welcome and at home, "said Rosa Park.
Inside Francis Gallery, there is a flowing interaction between the work, furniture, antiques and interior details. As a result, the rooms throughout the gallery are arranged much like living Spaces, with art, antiques and ceramics as decorations. The back room seems to borrow from a typical study: a bean-shaped wooden table in the corner with a lamp and books.
It opens to a sitting area secured by a curved man-made fireplace. Round, cream-colored sofas, pale wood coffee tables and large flowerpots filled with wild flowers are also used to decorate the space. The walls were painted cream to contrast with the dark wood floors. The gallery's sunny foyer overlooks the surrounding Bath street and will be used as a more typical exhibition space featuring works from international artists throughout the year.
