A classic, mature take on the client’s personal style: an exceptional flat in one of Prime Property’s trademark buildings in Limassol, Cyprus, which I set apart from its neighbours with yellow accents and window-frame mirrors.
Contrasts are my forte, as usual. Rugs in muted tones envelop the living room and give it a cosy, comfortable feel, while paintings and framed pictures add interest and even humour. This is a home built on intricate details, and I like to make the observer lean in and hunt for the surprises I have hidden along the way. Nothing takes away from the whole: I balance the different energies flowing through a flat that invites a second, third and even fourth look.
My goal here was to take a flat that was pretty much finished and turn it on its head, replacing the expected with the unexpected. With the flourish of a magician producing his signature trick, I let top hats descend from the ceiling as quirky chandeliers, while yellow pouffes, cushions and even garden sofas pick out highlights against a brown, classical base.
