Bringing everything into harmony and carrying out the details that matter with care: that was the brief. Over the years this villa had been furnished with an assortment of furniture, rugs and objects gathered along the way.
The parquet floor was dark and needed refreshing.
The curtains had been replaced at some point, but without any thought for the whole. The chandelier above the dining area is now centred exactly on the table and the double door. The living room has gained a flowing perspective. The coffee table has a top in solid elm. The small side tables slide freely under the large central table: not only does that look tidy and handsome, it is also very practical.
For the colour scheme the choice fell on taupe, broken by light whites.
Marcotte Style set out to bring every volume, colour and perspective into harmony. The terracotta lamps were tuned to the whole as well. All these details find their balance with the incoming light and the shadows it casts. They are the points we always take into account. Marcotte Style can draw on a great deal of experience with this kind of complete project: with the right advice and knowledge, a full project always ends in a flawless execution of the drawings.
The study was given only new curtains; the old cabinet and desk were sandblasted and then oiled white. For optimal protection the wood then receives two coats of matt varnish.
Along the long wall around the open fire, a perfectly proportioned white timber cabinet was made. In the middle, above the fire, the television is concealed. The curtains, in a very soft and noble fabric, come as a surprise: their colours return in full in the walls and the white cabinets. That creates continuity, and curtains and walls become one.
A modest intervention turned a rather sombre bedroom into a tasteful whole with considered finesse. Taupe, grey and beige tones dominate the bedspread, the curtains and the walls without ever imposing. The ensemble feels remarkably calm.
A completely different layout suddenly made the small bathroom feel larger. The effect comes from placing the large walk-in shower centrally and setting the two basins against the shower's low wall. That frees up room for bespoke low units along the long wall. The radiator now disappears neatly between two of those units and forms one whole with them.
To get a sense of the metamorphosis, the before and after image is worth a look.
