Re: What is your design style?
@ Khattichic and Tranquil.. mA, beautiful homes, may you both be blessed with peace, tranquility and barakat in your homes.
My own style is more transitional. I despise super formality in a home and longed for a place that was more comfortable, classic, yet modern. Not into the ultra modern with absolute clean lines, or a look that is very sterile. And definitely not into the traditional style.
We have clean, simple lines, A bit of traditional mixed with a bit of contemporary. I don’t like too much masculinity in a house, and at the same time cannot stand the frills, and femininity in a home. It is very well balanced, AH.
Over the years I have developed a taste for color in my home. By color I mean reds, yellows. teal blue, pistachio green, browns and greys. And that is what we have.
Lots of sofas and armchairs throughout 3 living areas, all in leather. Not a single ‘fabric’ sofa in the house. One can be comfortable in the family room, and just as comfortable and relaxed in the formal living room.
We have many children running throughout our house, so looked at something that was functional, durable, safe and also pleasing for those who live in the home.
Living in a clean place is a must, yet it must look lived in. Everything has its own place, and we try to de-clutter as much as possible.
Oh, and it’s not all matchy matchy either. Everything seems to blend in together. I don’t believe in spending a fortune on things, and as KC mentioned, it does not have to cost an arm and a leg to look good.
