DISTINCTLY Mine How this villa in The Lakes was transformed into a European style home Styling by: Hiral Kapadia Photographs by: Muthu Kumar “I wanted to create a clear European style, like something you’d find in Brussels or Paris, for our family home,” explains Nadia Sallustio who completely gutted and reimagined her stunning home in The Lakes. She bought the four-bedroom villa four years ago, together with her husband Fabio, and it took nine months of work before they could finally move in. “We modified everything. From the interior walls to the ceiling height and the windows. The only thing we kept were the outside walls,” laughs Nadia, who owns the stylish The Den home interiors boutique in Dubai. The sheer scale of the work, and the attention to detail with which it has been carried out, is evident in the villa’s elegant charm. Not their first rodeo, the couple (who have three children and a cat) had also renovated their previous home in The Meadows. “I’ve always been interested in designing homes,” explains Nadia. “When I was a child my favourite toy to play with was Barbie’s furniture. I used to design a big apartment on my parent’s dining room table, using my mum’s small cacti as accessories.” Bringing her lifelong passion for design to life, Nadia, who has a degree in Fine Art, drew and designed the whole house herself, sourcing all the materials needed to create her dream family home. 38 | bhomes.com
