Bold and Beautiful - Edinburgh Feature Home

This stunning home on Redhall House Avenue Craiglockart is a contemporary take on the Scots Baronial style.

The owners have taken a bold approach to interior design that nevertheless remains the right side of restrained.  A striking colour palette is repeated throughout the home giving a feeling of balance, forethought and continuity.

In the bright and spacious double aspect sitting room, a stylish yet inviting conversation/sprawling space has been created where the family can gather to socialise or watch the subtly placed plasma screen.  The main focal wall features a strong statement wallpaper which injects personality and warmth into what could be a bland space.  Strong spot colour in red introduces plenty of visual interest and the soft, inclusive semi circular seating area invites lingering and relaxation.

The intimate dining room features another strong statement wallpaper, the oversized repeating pattern being echoed in the chandelier over the dining table.  The unusual wood and glass circular table lends a sociable, cosy yet chic ambience.  Statement art and a striking window treatment provide a real talking point.

One of the most striking features of the state-of-the-art kitchen is a fabulous wall of glossy red lacquered units which house a variety of stainless steel appliances.   Feature wallpaper and glossy red 50’s style bar stools lend yet more character to this arresting yet practical room.  A central island unit with an extractor over makes the perfect spot for guests to chat to the chef and attractive limestone-style flooring and granite work tops add yet more sophisticated, practical glamour.   
 
The spacious, airy master bedroom has an unusual sage green and slate grey colour combination that’s surprisingly restful!    A glossy, deep- quilted throw makes a glamorous focal point and geometric scatter cushions inject some artistic interest.  Sage and taupe striped drapes and a subtle feature wallpaper ground the space without overwhelming the relaxing ambience. 

The en-suite bathroom has an unusual  angular shape and an intimate, fairly monochromatic colour scheme.  Under-stated but quite definite visual interest has been created by varying the size of the tiles – large mosaic style on the walls, oblong shapes in the shower and large squares on the floor.   This creates lots of pattern and texture variation without cluttering the space.    A contemporary circular porcelain bowl is supported by a smart dark wood unit which conceals everyday bathroom clutter.
