With a passion for travel and exploration, a closed-off, dark home was not ideal for the residents of this 4-room condominium unit. They wanted plenty of natural light and space to roam freely around the house with better storage solutions and updated facilities. They did not, however, want their home to be entirely new and unfamiliar, choosing instead to incorporate many of their pre-existing pieces into the renovation.
For a bright and inviting home, the designers at Richfield Integrated opted for clean, modern lines, neutral colours and the use of natural elements. The neutral colour palette not only gives the home a fresh, contemporary look but helps the more rustic elements to blend into the new design. A number of large windows and balconies brighten up the dark laminates and stone tiles for a raw yet welcoming ambience.
From the living room to the smaller, personal spaces, the designers took care to keep the home consistently appealing. The millworks, once mismatched, now weave a seamless aesthetic flow between different rooms with a harmonious finish, creating visual interest with varying tones. Large mirrors were turned into feature walls in the living and dining areas, paralleled by the smaller mirrors we can see in other areas of the home.
The living room was particularly important to the residents as the centre stage for their religious gatherings. To elevate the elegance of this space for the couple's friends, a previously blank wall was fitted with a custom-made TV and feature wall. The preexisting couch was further reupholstered with a textured, white fabric. This allows for a brighter, more contemporary space that is yet familiar and welcoming.
