The requirements were quite specific. The usual safe tried and tested “London” look wasn’t going to work for this client. The project needed exclusivity and a uniqueness of character and personality. It also needed to take both the client and the local area into account. The overall finish was to blend harmoniously, providing a comfortable luxurious family home – incorporating the colours of Provence – to be enjoyed in private in a climate hot during the summer months and chilly during winter.
The home is laid out on the ground floor only. It’s surrounded by a super size swimming pool and large areas of mature gardens, including olive trees and tall palms.
Nature and design in perfect harmony
The local lavender played an important part – the colours of Provence! So, we successfully mirrored lavender tones around the pool area. This was achieved with luxuriously super-soft towels, together with striped and contrasting plain cushions. The lavender theme continued inside for the dining chairs, here we used a fabulous soft lavender shade against a dark frame for stand out appeal.
Contemporary and classic designs combined
A mix of contemporary and classic designs was a must, so luxurious classic fabrics with contemporary furniture finishes blended nicely. The lighting was also both classic and contemporary, blended together to bring brand a new exclusive look.
Listening to clients requirements in paramount. This project has clearly demonstrated our ability to offer something unique and exclusive, portraying our client’s warm, kind, charming personality, and desire for a most comfortable home to be enjoyed in a private setting.
Au revoir, Provence, et à bientôt!
