This project called for the curation and styling of all furniture and accessories for a classic contemporary aesthetic in this Whitby new-build.
Our brief was to layer in furniture, accessories and styling accents to create a calm, cohesively designed yet still functional home for a young family of four.
Taking the crisp white and warm oak canvas provided, we created a colour palette of warm neutrals, blues, greens and earthy tones to enhance the home’s architectural features and natural surrounds, including a stunning view over the Pauatahanui inlet and hills beyond.
We had furniture pieces custom made in oak, marble and black steel to compliment the overall classic, contemporary scheme.
Soft furnishings including sofas, armchairs, ottoman and cushions were all individually selected and custom made to layer up and create a warm, inviting family space.
Additional styling pieces including lighting and decorative elements were interspersed with the client’s own personal pieces to tell a story of the family that lives here.
Rugs, framed family photographs and pots for greenery are the icing on the cake.
