The client was so thrilled and happy with my choice that he has been a great supporter. Due to confidentiality I cannot give his name but I can say to you, he has kindly written a “Recommendation” on LinkedIn. (I think you will be able to work it out).

This project was a refurbishment, makeover and styling. The existing layout comprised a spacious open plan living included two (2) bedrooms, two (2) bathrooms (en-suite off the main bedroom), a study nook a north aspect (which is priced here) and full width balcony. An over sized car space with direct lift access.

When briefing the client, I asked which three (3) household items he couldn’t live without. One of those was a Persian rug that held significant emotional value because his late grandmother gave it to him. This helped me with the colour palette.

The result was a sleek interior finish throughout.

Milk chocolate coloured walls help create a moody and calming effect. The sheer curtains add a touch of sophistication and also softens the room.
A custom designed floating credenza is suspended off the wall houses the entertainment unit and a mini bar.
Because of the open plan nature of this apartment, I integrated the different zones by matching the timber veneer (Wenge) for the credenza, dining table, suspended desk and kitchen cupboards. A soft white Caesarstonewas used for the kitchen bench tops.
The Philip Stark “Mademoiselle” dining chairs were reupholstered in a fabric to compliment the colour palette of the Persian rug and a feature wall was also upholstered in the same fabric to compliment the chairs.
Everything was customized for this client including bed linen and even the bathrobe while working within a very tight budget. No detail was left unattended.
