Hymn For The Weekend

This is a residential planning case. The homeowner aspires to have an exotic home style and an incredible tolerance of color. Therefore, the designer has courageously chosen a contrasting color configuration and decorative techniques with French colonial vocabulary, demonstrating a colorful and diverse living environment. Thanks to the designer’s thorough evaluation and excellent execution, the homeowner gets to enjoy the romantic and exotic atmosphere at home. Given the excellent window arrangement of the house, the designer planned an open design as the central space of the shared living area. Also, small icicle glass screens are utilized as a part of the partitions to allow natural light indoors. When entering the house, one will see a ceiling screen made of wood, iron, and small icicle glass, which uses its light-permeable feature to make the space spacious and bright while retaining its seclusion. Besides the screen, the foyer is divided by a three-color hexagonal floor tile. The designer has planned a two-way flow design to make the space flow smooth and neat. Moreover, the shared living area walls are planned in smoky gray and light brown, extending the impression of the old Moroccan city walls through the color palette. The use of wood veneers interspersed with green objects reveals a unique warm texture and layer. Interestingly, a brown and orange leather sofa is placed in the living room to enliven the imagery of the space. Towards the dining room, the designer chose a traditional red copper chandelier from Indonesia to hang above the dining table, adding an exotic vibe and providing a romantic dining time for the residents. Walking slowly down the corridor towards the bedroom space at the bottom, one will realize the red door of the master bedroom, which is bold and eye-catching. The brick red color is used on the main wall above the bed, echoing the same color scheme. The dresser next to the bed uses a full-length mirror to harmonize the mood of the space and make the overall visual harmony comfortable. The other bedroom is decorated with fresh and elegant colors to create a relaxing atmosphere.
