A FRESH PERSPECTIVE How Perfect Proportions breathed a new lease of life into this Springs home 58 | bhomes.com
home renovation | INSPIRATION THE WOODEN BEAMS CREATE A PARTITION EFFECT WITHOUT TAKING UP MUCH SPACE Having bought the property earlier this year, the owners of this 3-bedroomed house in The Springs reached out to Clarice Claudette from Perfect Proportions to help them freshen up their abode. The vision was to create a versatile space that was both roomy and comfortable. With this in mind, the first thing on the team’s agenda was to knock down the dividing kitchen wall to create an open-plan living area. “We raised the kitchen’s low ceiling by relocating the AC and boiler unit to the entryway,” says Clarice. “This gave us plenty of room to incorporate an island unit with a breakfast bar.” Ideal for entertaining in, the space was kept neutral and bright with an aquatic tone, inspired by the family’s muchloved swimming pool, used as an accent colour throughout. For the furniture, the team were able to upcycle some of the clients’ previous pieces. The dining table chairs were painted and distressed while the backs were reupholstered with a neutral-toned fabric. In contrast to the neutral living space, the family wanted the master bedroom to feel more luxurious with a black and white theme. “We decided to run with the modern look, adding exotic prints for a bold feel,” Clarice explains. The large charcoal headboard was chosen for its dramatic statement effect and complemented with bespoke golden bedside tables. “A sophisticated ambience was created by using an avid play of different fabrics and colours,” she adds. The finishing touch – a white buffalo skull – is a fun statement, seamlessly blending the bold and elegant theme.” Before Turn the page to read our tops tips on planning a similar renovation in your home ➤ bhomes.com | 59
