Less is More

This week I am posting some photos of a decorating job we have been involved in. The apartment is located on La Lucia Ridge, and the client wanted a very simple Zen feel with clean line and little pattern. The focus here was to soften the space with the fabrics, curtaining and acessories.

The Main Bedroom has been accented with a bit of colour, as before is was very white and stark. Stainless steel curtain rods with glass ball ends add to the contemporary feel of the apartment.


Finally, I have not given a design tip in a while... so here it goes: When decorating your house remember to keep it simple. Do not clutter or complicate the space - remember in most cases 'less is more'!

La Lucia House Update

Another update on the House in La Lucia: Above is a photo we took of the lounge area. The use of travertine tiles, stainless stainless steel and soft carpeting combine to create an open but comfortable entertaining space.

The lighting has been specifically chosen to create feature in certain areas, whereas in other spaces the lighting is purely functional.While the interior design and decorating of the rest of the house is very contemporary in nature, the main bedroom is alot warmer and traditional in nature. This is mainly due to the fabric chosen, the use of wallpaper behind the headboard and in panels on the Built in Cupboards, and the use of more classical furniture.
