DESIGN FILES :: SOPHISTICATED ISLAND LIVING
The best compliment we receive is when we know a new client through a recommendation of another client - word of mouth is the best marketing you can ever get! Now that aside, we are so thrilled to be sharing with you yet another Palm Jumeirah Villa Project. Our client had just relocated from their Abu Dhabi Apartment to the Palm. They managed to buy the main items like the sofas and kept the dining room table they had. However everything else had to go or get replaced. Their style was very Italian in their preference for slick clean design and our mission was to complete that look but add a bit of warmth to the place. (scroll to the end of the blog post for some before pictures).
The villa has a vast entrance that leads into a double height ceiling living room with a dining room attached to it. It also has a breakfast area which overlooks a central logia and a family room which opens up directly to the beach. As you come in you are now welcomed by an architecturally balanced wooden grey washed side board and blue toned Harf Noon Carpet from Carpet Centre. We kept it simple by dressing it with two bubble side lamps and aqua hued glass vases. The simplicity is kept with two large floor vases we styled with faux pussy willow branches.

First area to be tackled was the main living room. The grey Roches Bobois set was on point. We accented it with a beautiful off white blue and yellow striped carpet for minimal color addition and added beautifully designed throw pillows by Fornasetti & Missoni Home that grab your attention from far.
The choice for roundish coffee tables was a conscious one to cover a large area and to break the rigidity of the rectangular sofas.
The custom made curtains in light grey with strains of yellow keep it consistent with the color palette. A few simple shaped accessories in gold and silver juxtaposed against the dark wood table give it that extra oomph of elegance.
2 metallic art panels dressed the walls on both sides of the arch and their brass details again reiterated the metals on the accessories and lamps - and don't we just love getting into the smallest details t
