European Oasis<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0never smooth sailing when clients meet with their interior designer, only to reveal two different ideas on how they want their home to look. But this is just what happened to Georgie Shepherd, who took on the interior design of a new Adelaide home built by Proske Architects. \u201cThe brief was a true fusion of the\u00a0<\/span>husband and wife<\/span> dynamic,\u201d she says. \u201cIt was to be classic-inspired, European design with a twist, but like any true duo dynamic the wife wanted intricate detailing, classic nods and natural materials throughout, while the husband, being a graphic designer, wanted this paired with surprising and edgy elements.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Considered Details<\/h2>\n

The family had just moved out of a period property, so Shepherd wanted to soften the changeover, rather than shock the senses out of them in their new home. She did so by adding detail, \u201cwith bevel-edged, shaker-profile cabinetry with hand-rubbed, aged-brass shadow lines, and a brushed-brass inlay border around the herringbone floor,\u201d she explains. \u201cThis exquisite detailing performs the dual function of adding refined luxury to the home, while creating a sense of the familiar to ease the clients\u2019 transition from their previous, traditional abode.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Solid Brass Touchpoints<\/h2>\n

Iver was the obvious choice for this transition, with the diamond cut cross knurling<\/span><\/span>\u00a0of its Brunswick Levers with\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Round Roses<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Chamfered Backplates<\/span><\/span><\/a>, as well as the range\u2019s <\/span><\/span>Pull Handles<\/span><\/span><\/a>. The\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Helsinki T Cabinet Pulls<\/span><\/span><\/a>, too, with their small but weighty tactility, offered both detail and subtlety at once.<\/span><\/span> \u201cThe Brunswick range was used through the home,\u201d states Shepherd. \u201cThe knurled lever gave us the textural and modern element we felt the project needed. We added the long rectangular backplate with the chamfered edging to bring a more classic sensibility.\u201d Colour and material too, played their roles. \u201cWe used Signature Brass for the interior doors, which paired perfectly with the tapware finishes used throughout. The Matt Black on the black steel, painted doors gave a seamless look.\u201d <\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to the care paid to these clever little accents, the quality of this home\u2019s design reigns consistent throughout. \u201cBeautiful craftsmanship, attention to detail and natural materials that will age gracefully, combine to create an enduring design that reflects the owners\u2019 personalities,\u201d says Shepherd, \u201cas well as an appealing backdrop for future generations to tell their story too.<\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
