GRAPHIC ACCENTS

Throughout this home, statement shapes create definition and interest

-

BOLD NOTES

A variety of elements set the graphic tone. For example, in the kitchen area, a deep-set picture window framed in black metal, looking out to the garden, creates a simple but strong statement. It is complement­ed by the bi-fold corner door that opens fully to the outside from the snug, plus a narrow floorlengt­h window by the sofa. In the dining area, a half-height glass balustrade provides a view into the hallway beyond. STRONG LINES

Architectu­ral pieces have been picked out decorative­ly throughout Mark and Claire’s home, starting with the large kitchen island wrapped in marble. Furniture, too, makes for eye-catching silhouette­s, including plush modern sofas, oversized round mirrors, industrial­style lighting and circular washbasins. COOL HUES

Impactful monochrome schemes also add a graphic touch, from deep navy in the living room to moody off-black in the main bedroom. The contrast is turned up elsewhere, with bold pieces of furniture and, in the bathroom, black grouting and a Crittall-style shower screen against a white backdrop.
