  • Unique Bespoke Interiors

    This secluded villa is the first of a series of luxury houses created by COVET HOUSE with the purpose of inspiring professionals and design lovers to new hights in this new era. The 8.5 million, 500 m2 mansion in Russia presents elegant bespoke interiors with a modern classic touch, and a perfect balance between statement handcrafted pieces and more neutral, functional elements. The result is a very comfortable home fit for the modern luxury lifestyle.

    With 9 rooms to explore, this marvellous project has its own signature and language, with a very clear message, without being too loud or overpowering, every single detail is carefully put together to provide an ultimate luxury home.

    Welcoming you into the house, is a splendorous sight. A play on marbles, the high-ceiling and reflective surfaces provide a wider feel to the house. Exquisite, refined and quite subtle while being remarkable are some of the characteristics of this entrance hall. With a view to the second floor, L’Chandelier from Boca do Lobo drops from the ceiling to make a statement with as a dreamy, elegant and luxurious lightning piece. Also contrasting with the black marble of the floor, the white marble from the Empire Round Table protrudes from the flooring to receive every guest.

    The heart of a house. Designed with every detail carefully thought out to fulfil a powerful aesthetic, but also a comfortable, contemporary, and high-end setting. A room decorated by mixing various textures and materials, providing the ultimate luxury modern classic living room.

    With a view to the perfect snowy field in St. Peterburg, the high ceiling windows provide a source of natural light that fulfils and creates the illusion of a wider space, and complements the lighting pieces like the Newton Suspension Lamp by Boca do Lobo. The boiserie in the walls contrast perfectly with the straight lines in the center table or in the Thomson Sofa by Luxxu, being the perfect antitheses between classic and contemporary approach to the design. Neutral colour provides a sense of luxury that transpires in every detail, from the use of marbles in the wall and accessories.

    The sophisticated dining area, connected to the open kitchen, and consisting of a unique dining table that embodies handmade techniques such as wood carving, metal cutting and hammering, and polishing. An open space room with the contrast between the softness of the velvet upholstery and the harshness of the marbles and woods in the architecture of the spaces. The walls are detailed and stand out with a set of Supernova Chandeliers, and all the furniture is geometric and placed strategically.

    A convenient ergonomic kitchen, fully equipped with the latest tech and with a counter, is stylish and color neutral. It is deliberately not supposed to stand out in an open plan living room/dining room. The bright accent of the kitchen is the golden brass details in the lighting accessories, chairs and cabinet. A kitchen interior effortlessly that blends ergonomic motives with luxury.

    The master bedroom was designed concise and not bright, so that nothing would interfere with the rest. Wooden soft panels give the interior a soft touch and smooth the impression of dark walls that contrast with the light ceiling and floor, just like in the living room. Designer luxury items from Luxxu and Rug’Society have not spared the room – a soft rug, a stunning chandelier hangs over the bed, and bedside tables and a couch are perfectly crafted into the room.

    Could not do without a spacious and stylish wardrobe, made of premium wood, with open glass doors and interior lighting, which is very functional and appealing. With the shelves are made of genuine walnut wood, and a chandelier resembling a floating gold stream made to order and the soft Hera Armchair from Brabbu to connect all the elements.

    The bathroom is designed with a deliberate luxury: marble panel, the iconic black Diamon Bathtub from Maison Valentina and a contrasting black and white marble floor. The unique marble pattern in the bathroom resembles the river current. Brass and golden accessories complete the picture.

    Creating a children’s bedroom, the studio started from the dream world of a boy, and tried to make the room such that it takes a ride and never stops. With very attention to the “A” graphic lamp from Delightfull, standing out from the phenomenal Bun Van Bed from Circu in a sleek black paint job. Almost any unique product is the result of eclecticism of many details and a sense of taste, so in this interior is remembered the loft and the classics but it’s still very contemporary, as its able to see from the white walls with mouldings and warm lamps hanging next to the bed.

    A more sophisticated and leaner look, the use of neutral colors and more strict lines in the decoration, the variety of materials and finishes (especially the use of black), transpires luxury, professionalism, and most of all a modern style décor.

  • Textures of joy – stimulate your senses with the latest kitchen designs from Schüller

    We live in a rich textural world, full of interesting, tactile surfaces. We naturally run our hands along walls, through grasses and dip into cool streams. And yet our kitchens are often composed of straight lines and flat colours. It is no surprise that these surfaces don’t quite satisfy our subconscious desires, for it’s in our nature to seek out patterns and explore objects through touch.

    “The right use of texture can create the most spectacular kitchens and living spaces. And with the latest innovations in marble and wood effects, textured surfaces can be achieved at a far more affordable cost,” says Wayne Dance at InHouse Inspired Room Design. “Layering textures and tones creates dynamic spaces. Marry together the right combinations and you’ll find yourself enjoying a huge dose of satisfaction every day.”

    Don’t underestimate the importance of selecting the right textures for your kitchen. If we have learnt one thing about our homes this year, it is almost certainly that they should create a sense of comfort and calm whatever is happening in the world outside

    Deep blue, louvre cabinet fronts with a combination of dark knotty oak and cool, white marble creates a stunning blend of complementary textures. The pairing of bold colour with earthy neutrals creates a rich and inviting kitchen.

    The elegant combination of bold deep blue cabinet fronts and knotty brown grain are balanced with luxurious and earthy white marble effect surfaces and feature wall. Here textures inspired by nature create a bright and striking contrast to rich and contemporary colours.

    Wood effect cabinets create a rustic feel with a contemporary touch. Schuller’s synchronised pore effect replicates the feel of natural wood, creating a sensory and immersive experience within your home. Maroon knotty oak (as pictured) is right on trend for 2021. The rich brown creates a comforting yet sophisticated atmosphere whether you’re winding down at the end of the day or entertaining friends and family.

    Inspired by classic French shutters, the louvre front brings a cosy and nostalgic feel to every kitchen. Available in 17 colours from Schüller’s 2021 colour concept, the louvred front presents an opportunity to bring in your individual style and add a further touch of personality to your kitchen.

    The schüller.C collection is available from Schüller’s UK and Ireland network of retailers. For details, please contact InHouse Inspired Room Design at www.inhouseltd.co.uk or call 01661 842304.
