Modern rococo living room
As communicated to design firm Design 4 Space, the desired interior concept was that of a luxurious, Rococo-style design from 18th-century France.
The focal point of the space is a lavish marble TV feature wall, adorned with intricate gold trimmings that evoke the essence of modern rococo style.
The gleaming marble floors beneath your feet contribute to the room's grandeur, reflecting the play of light that enhances the overall sense of luxury. The carefully curated selection of rococo furniture takes center stage, with a magnificent white chesterfield sofa exuding both comfort and elegance.
Marble walls and floors
As marble was popular during that period, many of the home’s surfaces were installed with it - some are natural slabs while others are tiles engineered to look and feel like one.
The juxtaposition of the modern rococo elements in the living room creates a visual feast for the senses, marrying the elaborate detailing of traditional rococo with the clean lines and minimalist appeal of modern design. The result is a harmonious blend of styles, where the ornate and the contemporary coexist in perfect synergy.
Modern Rococo Style
The marble can be found on the feature wall, the living room floor, and the bathrooms. Meanwhile, gold trimmings dotted throughout amp up the glamour and elegance of the home.
White Chesterfield sofa
The outer communal zones are separated into four distinct zones: the living room, the dining room, the music room, and the balcony.
The white chesterfield sofa serves as a striking focal point, providing a comfortable and stylish seating arrangement that complements the intricate details of the marble TV feature wall and gold trimmings. This thoughtful curation embodies the essence of modern rococo style, where each element is carefully chosen to create a cohesive and visually stunning living space.
Modern Rococo Interior Design
Thanks to the colour palette, the living room is pleasing and restful despite its varying textures. The combination of marble, gold, and the iconic white chesterfield sofa epitomizes the epitome of modern rococo interior design, transforming the living room into a realm of refined luxury and timeless beauty.
Sliding glass doors
While each space can function independently, the rooms flow into each other seamlessly thanks to the sliding glass doors.
The smooth transition facilitated by these transparent partitions creates a dynamic interplay of light and space, fostering an open and airy ambiance throughout the entire residence. The result is not only a series of distinct rooms but a harmonious ensemble, where the boundaries between spaces blur, and a cohesive aesthetic narrative unfolds.
Tone on tone colour palette
Besides the occasional pop of colour, the home sports a restrained colour palette. Tone on tone soft furnishings create an impression of unity.
The predominant use of muted tones and subtle hues throughout the living spaces establishes a sense of understated luxury, where the interplay between light and color becomes an artful expression of elegance.
Modern rococo dining
The dining chairs add a much-needed pop of colour without detracting from the elegance of the space.
This strategic application of a restrained color palette not only imparts a sense of serenity and sophistication but also allows the occasional pop of color to become even more impactful. These carefully placed bursts of vibrancy serve as focal points that punctuate the otherwise subdued surroundings. It's a delicate dance between the muted and the bold, adding layers of visual interest to the space without compromising the overall coherence of the design.
Timeless rococo furniture
The home features hallmarks of Rococo-style interior designs, including marbled surfaces and dripping crystal chandeliers.
The music room, adorned with the unmistakable hallmarks of modern rococo interior design, stands as a testament to the harmonious fusion of opulence and contemporary elegance within this residence. The grand piano, a focal point in the room, becomes not only a musical centerpiece but also a visual ode to the timeless allure of rococo furniture.
Modern rococo master bedroom
The tufted headboard in the master bedroom was a smart choice as it imbues a touch of old-world glamour into the sleeping zone.
The tufted headboard, with its meticulously arranged buttons and sumptuous upholstery, serves as the pièce de résistance within the master bedroom. Its design harkens back to the classical elegance of the rococo era, where ornate detailing and luxurious materials were synonymous with grandeur. Placed against a backdrop of muted tones and subtle hues that characterize the modern rococo style, the headboard becomes a focal point, adding depth and texture to the bedroom's aesthetic.
Bathroom with a view
Solar shades afford privacy while still allowing the owners to enjoy the view.
The bathroom is adorned with marble-like tiled floors and walls, creating a luxurious and visually striking environment that seamlessly integrates the opulence of rococo aesthetics with contemporary sensibilities.
Marble and gold fitted bathroom
The varying grains of the marble-like tiles add some visual drama and textural variety to the bathroom. The tiles, with their veined patterns and lustrous surface, emulate the classical elegance of traditional rococo design while aligning seamlessly with the modern rococo style that defines the entirety of this residence.
Gold trimmings and fittings accentuate the lavish ambience, adding a touch of regality to the bathroom's design. From the faucets to the fixtures, every detail is meticulously chosen to reflect the ornate beauty of rococo aesthetics. The gilded elements serve as a bridge between the classic and the contemporary, infusing the space with a sense of glamour and refinement that resonates throughout the entire apartment.
Prestigious design and location
