Tangerine orange, teal and fire engine red are striking hues on their own – let alone as part of the same colour scheme. In the Southside home that interior designer Anji shares with her husband and their pup Fifi, this electric palette work surprisingly well – especially when combined with edgy, digital wall art, futuristic furniture and industrial materials.
I’m very colour driven, which I try to control, says the designer. I like a space to be clean and contemporary but quite eclectic, and I can’t help but bring in a whimsical element.
As well as going full throttle on colour, Anji adopts a no-holds-barred approach to furniture and fixtures. Each of the bespoke pieces in her home was designed with space-saving in mind, but aesthetics were not forgotten.
Anji designed the teal-toned, floor-to-ceiling glass doors in the kitchen and main foyer, for example, to conceal the stove top and hood, as well as the fully stocked wet bar. She also created a kitchen island surface in smooth Corian, adding cool barstools for an informal eating area.
The designer’s love of pop art carries through to the bedroom: where a visually arresting portrait of a woman dominates one wall.
Anji has clearly thought of every last detail in her striking home – a space which perfectly captures the spirit of creativity and fun.
