SO STYLISH

These are some of the most stylish Cardiff homes on the market to suit every price bracket.

If you’re feeling like your home needs an interior design refresh, then it’s always useful to have a nose about in other people’s abodes to pinch a few style ideas. Who knows, your neighbour selling their property might be a budding Kelly Hoppen or Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.

But instead of getting into trouble for peering through the neighbour’s window, put the kettle on, relax in your favourite comfy chair and browse through these super stylish homes in and around Cardiff that definitely have the interior design “wow” factor.

PONTCANNA: £500,000

What: In probably the capital city’s most sought after suburb, this pretty period four-bedroom home is within easy walking distance to the boutique shops and eateries of the suburb, Pontcanna fields, Bute Park and the city centre.

But it’s not just about location, location, location with this property, just step inside and you will see that the stylish interiors easily match the fantastic location.

The current owners have completely and cleverly upgraded the property into a visual interior feast.

Original features such as stunning fireplaces, Minton floor tiles, the grand staircase and decorative coving have been restored and now take centre stage within the design scheme of each room.

But this house is definitely not stuck in the past.

Any fixtures and fittings that have been updated, such as the kitchen and bathroom, have been chosen to reflect a contemporary home but with a homage to the traditional history of the home too.

In the kitchen, the Metro wall tiles and the Shaker style units mix successfully with modern urban light-fittings and contemporary dining table, chairs and breakfast bar stools.

In the bathroom, a stunning stand-alone bath is expected and delivers. Surrounded by luxury porcelain tiling, the double vanity unit brings a touch of tradition to the sleek design.

The choice of a soft pastel colour palette throughout the home ensures a connected interior “flow” through the property and a contemporary colour harmony between rooms.

Add modern lighting, classy furniture, eye-catching soft furnishings, funky accessories, unique storage and popular additions such as window shutters, and the house is a lesson in how to create a contemporary home within a traditional property and make it your own. Gorgeous.
