With the help of Richlands Realty, a residential property specialist operating on the estate, the owners’ dream of living in Italian luxury became a reality as their picture-perfect home was designed and built.
Then, under the guidance of Peacocks Nest Interiors, this stately home’s interior was transformed into a timeless, elegant space to match its exterior stature. The home had to be opulent and extraordinary, yet utterly liveable. The result went far beyond the owners’ imagination.
While a classic, neutral palette was applied throughout, splashes of colour and quirky designs spice things up, adding a unique sense of style. In the kitchen, for example, the traditional shaker-style cabinets are given an edge by combining them with stainless steel appliances and fun chairs. However, these fun elements are balanced with a more classic style, proving that elegant and eclectic can be beautifully combined.
The dining room suggests a more homely feel. Warm colours and textured fabrics are in perfect harmony with the bamboo dining chairs, while the solid wooden table flows seamlessly with the wooden blinds. A large mirror was expertly placed to create an illusion of space. The same classic elements can be found in the bedrooms, where the brief was to create havens of harmony and serenity.
What at first seemed like a nightmare – finding the perfect place to call home – has now become the stuff dreams are made of.
