We re-designed the entire back-end of this early 20th century cottage to create a harmonious, contemporary living space for a growing family.
We chose a warm, neutral palette with touches of green, blue and gold to make an inviting space that is a joy to spend time in.
The kitchen features classic materials of oak and marble, with the playful addition of fluted paneling on the island bench for interest.
Feature handles on the pantry doors delight the senses, and a beautifully lit open bar unit is integrated to the kitchen cabinetry to become a feature of its own.
Beautiful art pieces created the link for accent cushions on a plush, custom designed sofa, while a custom designed entertainment and shelving unit showcases our clients personality and style. All furniture pieces and fabrics were carefully selected by us to compliment the overall scheme.
Large french doors open up to the garden in summer, or can be closed off with the luscious window treatments for a cosy haven in winter-time.

Our name Kurio, is a play on the words curio (a rare, unusual, or intriguing object) and curated (discovering, collecting, organising beautiful things) with the K as our signature unexpected twist. Kurio is a reflection of our design ethos; Spaces designed to Live Distinctively.
