The foyer exudes elegance, seamlessly welcoming guests with its refined aesthetic. The focal point is a beautifully ornate, round mirror with intricate detailing. This adds a touch of vintage allure to the space. Below the mirror, a sleek, contemporary console table in a rich burgundy hue serves as a stylish and functional centrepiece. The table’s asymmetric legs, one with a smooth finish and the other with a wooden texture create an interesting visual contrast and a unique design statement.
Adorning the table are thoughtfully curated decor pieces, including a pair of rustic candle holders, a minimalist bowl, and an artful vase holding a simple branch. Thus adding a natural element that balances the contemporary lines. Whereas, the patterned floor tiles add a subtle yet impactful layer of texture and pattern. Thus grounding the foyer with a sense of timeless elegance. This well-composed vignette perfectly balances contemporary design elements with classic touches, creating an inviting and sophisticated entryway.
Defined by neutral colour palettes, raw materials, clean lines and minimalism, the Nordic style infused with eclectic sombre elements is the way this tranquil living room was created. The timeless living room interiors beautifully plays around emphasizing simplicity, functionality, and comfort. The designers have skillfully integrated warm patterns, natural woods, crisp whites, and varied textures to create an inviting space.
The use of natural wood enhances the cozy atmosphere, while crisp white walls and ceilings provide a bright, clean backdrop. Varied textures, such as woven chairs, smooth coffee tables, and soft cushions, add depth and interest.
The designer’s approach of mixing different timeless interior design styles has resulted in a personal and curated room. Key pieces like swivel chairs and a classic area rug anchor the space, while vintage furniture, thrift finds, and hand-me-downs contribute to its unique character.
Natural light floods the room, highlighting the interplay of materials and textures, with plants adding a touch of greenery. The presence of vibrant, abstract artwork introduces a contemporary flair, creating a serene and welcoming atmosphere perfect for relaxation and gatherings.
The dining and kitchen areas are eclectic, featuring minimalist yet high-end touches of sage green and sculptural art. HOQ has created a space that feels current and elevated. The dining area has a wooden dining table, which features a smooth, oval top supported by a robust pedestal base, giving it a contemporary yet organic feel.
Surrounding the table are upholstered chairs with elegant floral patterns that add a touch of softness and comfort to the setting. The use of wood in both the table and chairs introduces a sense of warmth and continuity throughout the space.
Above the dining table, distinctive woven pendant lights draw the eye upward, adding a layer of texture and interest to the ceiling area. These pendant lights, with their sculptural forms, enhance the natural aesthetic and provide a gentle, ambient glow, perfect for dining.
The backdrop of the kitchen area is sleek and modern, with clean lines and a mix of open and closed storage, highlighted by the use of earthy tones and subtle greenery.
Natural light pours in through the clerestory windows, playing on the plants, wood, and organic materials, further enhancing the dynamic and sophisticated space.
The two master bedrooms exemplify sophisticated contemporary design with a distinct personality. The first space blends contemporary and bohemian aesthetics, featuring a warm, earthy palette centred on beige and terracotta.
Its open-plan layout is defined by floor-to-ceiling windows, a platform bed with a tufted headboard, and a curated gallery wall. Textures are paramount, from Venetian plastered walls to waffle-textured bedding and patterned pillows, while natural materials and organic shapes dominate the decor.
The second bedroom showcases a fusion of contemporary and mid-century modern elements with bohemian touches. An eye-grabbing four-poster bed with a wood and brass frame is complemented by an upholstered headboard with decorative motifs.
The colour scheme balances neutral tones with warm terracotta and vibrant orange accents. Architectural details like a tray ceiling, recessed lighting, and arched built-in cabinetry add depth and character to the space.
Both rooms emphasize texture, layering, and attention to detail in their styling. The first bedroom features wooden flooring, a minimalist bedside table, and large floor vases with bare branches, while sheer curtains and a geometric rug add comfort.
The second space boasts a herringbone wood floor, a round floral rug, and mid-century modern furnishings like a sleek console table and cane-fronted storage unit.
Brass accents, carefully curated artwork, and natural elements appear in both designs, creating inviting retreats that balance style with tranquility and contemporary luxury with comfort.
