bohemian makeover that is as
luxuriousasitisplayful, bold,
and vivacious
the room’s mirrored walls reflect the lush
garden outside, giving the illusion that one
is dining in a verdant, leafy space.
But to see luxury at its apex in this house
is to see what Voorjans has done to the
master’s bedroom. This space calls to mind
a truly magnificent hotel suite with all the
accoutrements for comfort: plush bedding,
a restrained yet elegant aesthetic, and a
soothing colour scheme accented by golden
yellow curtains. The adjacent bathroom is
equally magnificent with its Art Deco motif
and stark black and white palette.
For Voorjans, this house was a
collaborative project of sorts with the owners;
working on it in such a way that, instead
of clashing, their respective styles seem to
have merged together harmoniously. “People
should be able to feel free in my designs,”
the designer says. “Otherwise I’m literally
suffocating them with my taste. I took the
liberty of playing with the stylistic grammar
of the past 300 years in designing the interior.
Obviously, I’m willing to grant the occupants
the same freedom.”BURSTING
