dramatic backdrop to their collection
of contemporary art.” To pick up
the green in the living area, Jenine
had two armchairs made up with
a bold tropical floral velvet on
the front and charcoal leather on
the back.
Separating the dining room and
kitchen is a wall with a serving
hatch, so the counter acts as a server.
Natural oak floors offset the sleek
white finishes. Small windows in the
splashback let in plenty of light and
provide an outlook of lush foliage.
Upstairs, Jenine gave the main
bedroom, which has a reading
nook and desk, the plush look of a
boutique hotel. A half wall behind
the bed screens the entrance to the
dressing room and bathroom, and a
built-in cupboard was added behind
it. The wall was painted steel blueto show off the new dusty pink velvet
headboard. Although they maintained
the white scheme in the bathroom, it
was updated dramatically with 3-D
tiles. Oak finishes and a brass light add
warmth and a touch of femininity.
“We’re so pleased Jenine encouraged
us to use more colour. The house has a
much more playful look now and while
it’s stylish and contemporary, it’s also
very inviting,” says Lani.THISPAGE,CLOCKWISEFROMABOVELEFT: CircularmirrorsdesignedbyJenineandapendantlightfittingfromPezulaInteriors
