Design in a Day (DIAD); Landed home; 2021

Many clients reach out to us after visiting a home styled by Arete Culture. This client first became acquainted with our work at his office, which we had styled a few years ago. When he decided on engaging professional help for his residential space, he approached our team to help him create a home that would facilitate entertaining while allowing the family to comfortably use the space every day.

Notes from our stylists

  • The client asked us to retain two pieces — the area rug in the living room, and the coffee table. We developed the colour palette of the home from colours in the rug.

  • To accommodate the client’s requests for a dual-purpose space, we reconfigured the seating arrangement to incorporate more multi-functional pieces. We brought in a chaise, bench, and armchairs. These pieces are easily moved around for entertaining, and make for comfortable lounging during everyday use.

  • We used with gold accents and reflective surfaces were brought in to lighten the original dark colour palette. Balancing the heavier pieces with these finishes also imbued the eclectic home with a modern touch.
