A fully tailored interior design services package including architectural advice was offered for these elderly clients who wanted their last home to be their dream home.
Welcome to Simone van der Plas PDINZ - Lindsay Road House: A Timeless Retreat Crafted for a Lovely Elderly Couple
In the creation of the Lindsay Road House, we embarked on a journey with a delightful elderly couple, infusing their vision with our expertise to bring forth a home that exudes tranquility and sophistication. Our full interior design services were dedicated to translating their desires into a space that resonates with timeless elegance.
Noteworthy Features of the Lindsay Road House:
Tiled Floors and Simple White Color Schemes: Responding to the client's vision, the Lindsay Road House embraces simplicity with tiled floors and a serene white color palette. This choice sets the stage for a calming atmosphere throughout the residence.
Marble-Grained Blue/Ochre and Grey/White Textured Tiles: To amplify the sense of space in the main living areas and bathrooms, we introduced marble-grained blue/ochre and grey/white textured tiles. These not only add visual depth but also contribute to an overall feeling of openness.
Sisal Wool Carpet in Bedrooms: Comfort meets style in the bedrooms, where warm-toned sisal wool carpet provides a plush foundation. This flooring choice creates a cozy haven, harmonizing with the design aesthetic.
Modern Country Kitchen: The heart of the home, the kitchen, is a blend of modern convenience and country charm. An in-built removable chopping block, wine fridge, and a vast island with Neolith Calcutta benches define this space. It's designed to be a hub for culinary creativity and communal gatherings.
Massive Walk-In Pantry:Anticipating the future, we incorporated a massive walk-in pantry, a thoughtful addition that ensures the home is adaptable for a growing family. This space enhances both functionality and storage capacity.
Bathroom Harmony and Quality Hardware: Continuity reigns in the bathrooms, with matching tiles and similar-styled joinery to the kitchen, creating a seamless flow. Quality hardware is a constant throughout, adding a touch of luxury to these essential spaces.
Architectural Innovation - Modern Pergola: Simone's visionary touch extended beyond the interior, as she revised the architect's verandah design into a modern pergola. This not only frames the large sliding doors but also provides shade during the heat of summer, seamlessly blending form and function.
Simone van der Plas PDINZ proudly presents the Lindsay Road House - a testament to our commitment to turning dreams into reality. This home is a harmonious marriage of the clients' vision and our expertise, resulting in a haven that transcends time and trends. Welcome to a space where every detail reflects thoughtful design and the pursuit of unparalleled living.
