Moderne living in een villa in Wilrijk, ingericht door Marcotte Style

Modern villa, Wilrijk

No surprise that this complete renovation was included in Patrick Retour's 2019-2020 book "wonen met stijl". The villa was fully rearranged and stripped back to a shell before being rebuilt.

The hall

In the living room the bar was designed entirely by Marcotte Style and forms the centrepiece of the space. The long white modern dining table suits it, with around ten very comfortable chairs from the Marcotte Style collection that warm the whole up.

The owners gave us a free hand to create a perfectly finished modern interior within their budget. After the presentation of a realistic 3D, client and maker were immediately on the same wavelength. Because all the craftsmen work under one roof, Marcotte Style can run each renovation from A to Z, with one and the same person following everything up.

The kitchen

The idea was to carry one line through the house for a homogeneous whole. Soft greys were chosen, with contrasting wenge wood panels. The dark tinted wood is broken by white high gloss panels, which lightens it considerably. Some walls are framed by brushed aluminium profiles.

A beautiful and practical kitchen was of course part of the whole project. To continue the same line, it was given a summery look: white high gloss lacquer reflects the light and makes the kitchen feel larger. Because the old kitchen was out of proportion with the villa, one wall was moved by just 70 cm, which was enough to optimise the space and fit a generous island. Televisions were subtly built in throughout.

On one side there is a full wall of bespoke cupboards. A concealed door in that wall connects the kitchen to the home cinema. On the other side a new opening was made towards the dining area. After that change, it feels as though the layout has always been this way.

The TV lounge

Once the door to the home cinema opens, the surprise is immediate. The modern character is everywhere here. The Italian design lamp gives the first impression. The airy azure tones in the rug and cushions carry on into the glossy, slightly reflective walls. An led strip picks out the blue band in the two walls. The wave curtains add a summery note; a special system keeps them in the same wave shape at all times.

Before and after

The renovation was done in two phases: first the upper floor, a year later the ground floor. That allowed the owners to live either downstairs or upstairs during the works. Because everything is in one pair of hands, not a day is lost: the plumbers follow on from the electricians, then the plasterers finish everything, and as soon as the screed is dry the floor layers come in.

Our tip: for a full project it pays to contact Marcotte Style at an early stage. That avoids needless costs and works. With us everything is fixed on the drawing, which makes mistakes all but impossible.
