Goregeously grand
The allure of this electric dream home begins to reveal its magic on approach, as shimmering light emanates to fulfil the anticipation of an inspired interior.
The grand staircase, crowned by light, dominates a spacious, symmetrical and elegant entrance hall welcoming visitors to this Gorgeous Grand family home, curated by internationally recognised Audi Snyman Interior Design.
Shades and textures of neutral colours embrace timeless blues that have been artfully woven into expansive spaces — all these through subtle inclusions: soft tones through splashes of colour evident in paintings, plush soft furnishings, harmonious rugs and carefully selected hard-crafted artworks. Neutral is reserved with luxurious textures and accent colours, adding a warm depth that is reflected in every room.
The clean lines of the open plan kitchen with its natural stone countertop offer an infinite view over the dining room and beyond. This well-appointed space is for aesthetically pleasing and efficiently functional.
Everything in sight fulfils a key role in combining electric inspiration and the design brief, with a mix of understated luxury, bespoke design, unique handcrafted pieces made from recycled glass — showcased at the opulent dining table — and is surrounded by multiple other conversation starters.
The pairing of beautifully crafted lighting and luxurious comfort characterises the interior downstairs spaces, and spills out across the exterior spaces, that echo the symmetry and drama of the design.
Both the indoor and outdoor lounge areas are furnished with spacious and comfortable seating, effortlessly lending themselves to entertaining and to being entertained.
The mix of interaction is accentuated by a collection of inviting seats and the seating at pool table sets, custom home bars, and an elevated lounge that speaks of the passions and priorities of this homeowner.
The unassuming colour palette is brought to life by layers of light, creating the perfect canvas for conversation to thrive. The spaces are rich with stories and tales of milestones already met, while embracing the possibilities of new memories yet to be made and celebrated together.
The understated glamour of classical wallpaper is brought to life by exquisite pendant lights and an ornate mirror. The journey continues into the downstairs study where a whimsical map of the world is ceiling height bookshelves showcase a deep love for travel. The opposite side of this room stays harmonious to a perfect home schooling.
At the top of the staircase lies a luxurious lounge/entertainment space that serves as a haven of comfort and joy — a playful edge to the space. The pyjama lounge reveals a blue statement-making corner sofa, overlooked by two pieces of art, commissioned to ensure young family members form an integral part of the space.
Inspired interiors double calming symmetry complimented by the gold thread of blue that forms an integral part of the DNA of this family home.
The clinic of the master bedroom merges tastes to ensure rest and rejuvenation. Creams and beige temper morning blues, line wood, while crystal chandeliers add warmth, and an invitation to enjoy an occasional Sunday morning lie-in.
The overarching theme of symmetry continues to soothe the eye in the elegant bathroom, where aesthetic effortlessly merges with natural textures and refined fixtures and fittings.
Crystal chandeliers are repeated over the bath and in the walk-in cupboard, adding a sense of occasion and timeless style to these areas.
The two guest bedrooms, while being mirror images in terms of floor plan, each tell their own unique stories. The Sentimental Room departs from the signature style of the house to softly frame and showcase family heritage and restored heirlooms and has a distinctive feminine touch.
All bedrooms have elegant en-suites, with clean lines and luxurious finishes.
The second guest bedroom incorporates more masculine décor and lighting, a return to the home’s signature layered textures, with blue woven throughout artwork and lampshades.
The young children’s rooms are a playful mix that respects individuality and breathes a spirit of fun and playfulness in each space.
These rooms continue to be a family story of love, laughter and happiness, sentiment embraced, place brimming with stories and dreams, full of personality and talking points.
Each room incorporates an en-suite, a practical nook study, and a walk-in closet and is tailored to grow with the boys as they mature.
A timeless addition to the home is the downstairs cinema, where, once the credits have run, both friends and family can fall asleep in the deep comfort of the home theatre’s plush centrepiece — an inviting upholstered bed positioned under the starry cinema sky — in an incredible place called home.
