DESIGN FILES :: GUIDED BY LIGHT

While its no secret we love the power of makeovers and seeing a space transform, we also highly enjoy turn key projects. And by turn key I mean we actually received the key from the developer on behalf of our trusting client and fully handled their project from A to Z literally.
Our client approached us after checking other designers in the market but opted to go with us due to our approach of giving a home. Since this was to be their holiday home, they wanted a space that offered the warmth of a home while being practical in the sense that it didn’t need to be over decorated, yet comfortable enough to feel like a second home when they are in Dubai.
The property, a beautiful four bedroom villa in the new community of Arabian Ranches 2, was so well designed there was no guess work as to how the floor plan flowed or where the furniture needed to be placed. It was also very well situated in location, the sun shone through every room flooding it with light from every angle further enhancing its feeling of space, a feature our client wanted to enhance with the selection of colour, hence the beautiful colour scheme of beiges, light blue greens and metals which we applied throughout the house mildly accenting it with other colours only to further strengthen it.
As you enter the house you are welcomed with the living room - the heart of the house - where we opted for a beautiful beige set of two seaters with golden studs from Interiors and complimented it with two armchairs with an arabesque blue green pattern in them. Their textured fabric is so gorgeous we decided to tone down the tables and went for Aura Living Glass and gold coffee tables and matching side tables. We dressed the tables with simple accessories like the elegant side lamps from West Elm, beautiful flowers from Marina Home and Crate & Barrel placed in glass and metal vases from the same shops.
For the middle table, the golden metal sea urchins offered the right amount of artistic contrast to the Homes’r’us beautiful green vase. To finish off the space we chose a lush fabric for the curtains and blinds in matching blue green and elegant sheers to go under them, while dressing the ceiling in gorgeous cascading ceiling lamp from Pan Emirates (you would have never guessed right!), a gorgeous off-white arabesque carpet from carpet centre and a beautiful painting in the same shades.
