Interior designer: Space Factor
The couple chose to have a contemporary Scandinavian look with some industrial elements. This meant creating a soothing palette of wood tones, whites and greys throughout the home, with furnishings in light colours and clean lines, to keep the living room looking bright and airy.
In order to keep within the allocated budget, the designers stayed away from expensive materials and used paint to create the effects they wanted. One of the feature walls, in the living room, sports imprinted surfaces that look like metal plates riveted to the wall, says the designer. It was then painted a soft grey. Another wall, behind the bar counter, was given an imprint of a brick wall and painted accordingly to look rustic.
The homeowners wanted plenty of wood in their home as well, so the designers used wood-lookalike laminates as an alternative to real wood. The bar counter, matching TV console-cum-bench and wall-mounted cabinetry were clad in different styles of such laminates. The same were also used in the master bedroom and study room, cladding floor-to-ceiling storage units in each room.
