This couple found interior designer Peggy Bels’ work through some friends and quickly tasked her with the project of renovating their home. Having worked on residential and commercial interiors across Hong Kong, Peggy is well known for her contemporary, minimalist style, which features pared-back elements – think wood floors and numerous shades of grey, such as those on brushed concrete walls. Peggy incorporated her style into the spacious Mid-Levels home while also accommodating the couple’s desire to make their home more spacious and comfortable.
The design features a muted palette of neutrals, monochromes and – of course – lots of grey. I used different shades of grey mixed with different finishes, as well as a wooden floor and soft fabrics for warmth and elegance,” explains Peggy. I’m always careful to choose warm greys. I also mixed light greys with darker greys to allow lighter colours to pop, and to create contrast and depth.” Grey features in the at’s mostly custom-made furnishings in details such as cushions and textiles, and even in the door to the children’s playroom, just off the living room. The occasional pop of colour infuses liveliness into the space. We used some strong colours for the playroom for it to be more fun,” says Peggy.
