Most people want their home to feel at least somewhat inviting and certainly comfortable. But there is the idea of plenty of seating and warm light - and then there is this home. This space, from the architects at PLASTERLINA and visualizer Jan Wadim that does more than welcome: it seduces. With plush textures and rich jewel tones, this space invites visitors to lay back and have a glass of wine - or even get especially cozy in one of the double baths. Combined with the sensuous choices in art and soft lighting, the home is definitely a place the invites you to use all your senses.
The open living room with its vaulted ceilings is in itself quite seductive. An open fireplace protects against the chill while what seems like miles of sofa just begs for lounging and laughter. Plush fabrics cover the furniture and the floors, making it nearly a crime not to sink in and doze off. Lighting is soft and simple, easily accomplished by creative overhead bulbs or dipped down to a few candles and a floor lamp.
The large dining room area is home not only to a spacious dining table and bare brick walls but also an extensive wine - and music - storage area. A few oversized prints of Erykah Badu bring that chanteuse's special brand of sultriness to bear. Clearly the owner of this house has a love of indulgence, from the ears down to the toes. The dark dining pendants complete the look.
A veritable library of wine and music makes for an entertaining evening. Simply fill a wine decanter, choose an album, and take a seat in the listening room just on the other side of the CD wall.
The kitchen is a bit plain compared to the rest of the home's creative color and texture, opting instead for a simple, retro-inspired mustard and brown palette. A breakfast bar and double oven make it easy enough to whip up a bowl of strawberries and a bottle of champagne at any moment.
A comfortable reading chair in the corner help you gets lost with your book.
In the oversized bathroom is where the magic of this home really takes flight. Double sinks are commonplace, but not many homeowners are able to indulge in double baths. This pair of twin soaking tubs is the ultimate in luxury seduction. Lightbulbs hang from rid wiring and another portrait looks on.
