Imagine waking up every morning to an environment where every detail is
reminiscent of an exotic holiday, where natural materials along with a refined design
create the perfect escape from the stress of everyday life. This was the homeowner´s
brief and we set to work.
We started by literally "gutting" the house. First, we enlarged the windows in the living
room, making sure the interior was filled with natural light. Then we tackled the
ceiling. The original idea was to create a flat wooden ceiling, but when we tore down
the original plasterboard, the roof came into view and we realised it had potential.
This resulted in an open roof with exposed wooden beams. Such a change
immediately brought a sense of airiness to the space.
In the living room, the exotic wallpaper we chose as the main element is
complemented by natural stone on the wall. We also harmoniously incorporated this
material into the design of the bathroom, where it replaced the traditional tiles. Each
piece of stone looks unique and gives the home an authentic character. We also
refined the space with decorative plaster finishes.
An interesting element is the wooden slatted door, whose design contributes to the
overall exotic look of the interior. Whether you open the door to the bedroom or the
living room, you have the feeling that you are entering another world.
When designing the lighting, we opted for handmade Bali lamps. Every single lamp is
original so it becomes not only a source of light, but also a striking decorative
element that attracts attention.
The bedroom is dominated by a canopy wooden bed. Surrounded by exotic-themed
wallpaper, the room feels like a tropical paradise. The jute wallpaper on the ceiling
completes the overall impression.
Finally, we connected two areas so that the owners had the bedroom connected to
the walk-in closet. In this way, we increased the functionality and aesthetic value of
this space.
We also took an unconventional approach to the bar seating area, where we placed
swings handmade in our design studio. We took a similar approach with the
accessories, choosing pieces handmade in Bali. They make the house unique, which
was appreciated by the owners. They feel like in an exotic paradise.
