    The creative brief

    The homeowners had a taste for alluring colours and textures which led to the house having a controlled maximalist design theme. The use of deep jewel tones in the bedrooms alongside the neutral shades on the skeleton of those rooms, makes the home all the more enticing.

    Ideas to bookmark

    The usage of contrasting colours in the furniture against the shell of the house is simply an outstanding move on Studio Taan’s part. It adds an entirely new dimension to the home without taking up space. 

    “The design through the house has an overarching theme of eclectic luxury. Controlled maximalism through the use of colours, patterns and textures to create dynamic, layered experiences through the house is a trend that the home stays true to,” concludes Marian.
