Verdi

Atrium Homes

Introducing Verdi Living - one of the classics from Atrium’s prestige collection. When built, The Verdi was heralded as the most luxurious display home ever built in Perth, the Verdi has a majestic street presence reminiscent of Europe’s most stately homes. It is a rare home of timeless elegance and character, and is one of Atrium Homes’ examples of commitment to designing and building homes of superior quality and distinction. For total sophistication and grand luxury, Verdi Living is without equal. Nothing has been spared in the quest for perfection, from the travertine floor tiles to the sumptuous furnishings and beautiful hand-carved Italian marble statues. From the street the Verdi commands attention, with its imposing facade, wrought iron balustrading, elegantly stepped architectural moldings and Roman columns. Built to the highest of standards by the most experienced craftsmen, the home boasts superior European styling and incorporates the finest materials, finishes and fittings. No detail has been overlooked in the pursuit of luxury and quality. The magnificent, light-filled formal foyer exudes an ambience of classical grandeur, with soaring ceilings and a spectacular Venetian crystal chandelier. The curves of the grand staircase sweep upstairs alongside the spectacular semi-circular glass and stainless steel lift. Another discreet staircase leads from the foyer down to a magnificent fully tiled cellar. Along with floor-to-ceiling storage for over 800 bottles of wine, the cellar provides an intimate lounge area to relax, watch a big screen TV or entertain guests. For true entertainment Hollywood-style, treat your guests to an evening in the big purpose-built home cinema, with its built-in screen, tiered seating and feature ceilings with concealed lighting. The Verdi’s expansive entertaining areas can cater for the largest gathering in sophistication, style and comfort. On formal occasions, the grand dining room and lounge room offer an ambience of elegance and refinement. Deep bulkhead ceilings with internal recess lighting define both areas. The gas log fire in the lounge room offers both classic sophistication and modern comfort. For more relaxed entertaining, an expansive family meals and living area, defined by gracious columns, flows around the magnificent kitchen at the hub of the home. Resplendent and supremely functional, the dream kitchen boasts solid Italian granite, timber cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and plenty of storage, including a walk-in pantry and appliance cupboard. For easy outdoor entertaining, the living area extends to an impressive alfresco area with built-in barbecue, perfect for year-round dining. Take the lift, or choose the curved staircase with its finely crafted Tasmanian Oak and wrought iron balustrade to the private upstairs zones, where a sitting room or retreat with a granite bar opens to the balcony. A private wing contains a library, two big bedrooms, a fully tiled bathroom and a powder room. For those who appreciate true indulgence, the opulent main suite - evocative of an international five-star hotel - will not disappoint. A stunning ceiling dome with a Venetian crystal chandelier adds European finesse, while every comfort has been catered for with quality carpets, formal drapes and a huge walk-in robe. A wall of curved glass separates the bedroom from the luxuriously appointed ensuite, which boasts the finest imported tiling and exclusive handcrafted marble.

Restyling Villa Neoclassica | Abitare in Grecia

Paola Buccafusca Interior

mi sono occupata del recupero del pavimento in legno posto al piano principale. Un’accurata levigatura ed una sapiente stuccatura delle parti incoerenti (tramite una metodologia tradizionale composta da colla e segatura dello stesso legno), mi hanno permesso di farlo riemergere come al suo stato originale. A seguire, l’applicazione di una vernice protettiva finale, gli ha conferito l’antico splendore che lo contraddistingueva.

A living room, often referred to as a lounge room in Australia and New Zealand, is the hub of the home. If you only have one living room in the house, it’s likely to serve multiple purposes: be it a place to watch TV, play games, spend quality time with family or hang out with friends. If you have the luxury of two living areas, one is usually a formal living room or lounge room, reserved for reading, relaxing and entertaining. A successful Mediterranean living room design is inviting, has enough seating for the whole clan – a comfortable couch is a must – and encourages conversation. Browse photos on Houzz for living room layouts, furniture and decor, and strike up a conversation with the interior designers or architects of your favourite picks. For even more Mediterranean living room ideas, check out the Stories section on Houzz.

Which Mediterranean living room layouts will work best for you?

Every living area will have design challenges. A long, narrow lounge room, for example, risks looking like a hallway if furniture is lined up against the walls. Instead, opt for small furniture items, like a cosy two-seater couch, and create various focal points throughout the space. In square living rooms, a symmetrical layout encourages a formal setting. Place seating on either side of the room, with a focal point in the middle to pull the room together. For a truly intimate vibe, replace your couch with some occasional chairs positioned around a coffee table or ottoman. This will make the main focus conversation. An open-plan home – one where the lines are blurred between kitchen, dining and living – may require a layout that focuses on definition. You’ll want to make sure furniture doesn’t block the flow between spaces, and instead use something like an area rug to create zones.

How can you decorate your living room?

The living room can be a place in which to show off your personality, but if you want a timeless living room scheme, stick to neutral walls, couches and ottomans. Colour can be added through accessories, and is a lot more interchangeable! Rugs, cushions and throws are great for adding colour, while mirrors, lamps and ceiling lights will set the mood. Make your Mediterranean living room unique by including family heirlooms and photos. For a polished look, try creating a coffee table vignette – you could use books as pedestals or group items together on a tray. Try adding a vase, a mixture of round and rectangular objects and some books.

What are some small living room ideas?

Small living room designs can be tricky to work with, but aren’t doomed to fail. Often, you just have to get creative with furniture. An open-back chaise can create a sense of spaciousness, while small side tables paired together can substitute a coffee table. Even better, an ottoman can be used as a footrest, coffee table or extra seating. Big furniture items like the couch are best kept in light colours, and if there’s room for a coffee table, a glass-top one is best. If you have two spaces in one – perhaps your Mediterranean living room sits in front of a single-wall kitchen – make sure they are connected by decor, colour and style. For definition, just add area rugs, or use your couch as a dividing wall. It’s worth having a few furniture pieces, whether a bookshelf, couch or entertainment unit, in the same colour as the walls, too, so they blend into the room and visually expand the space.

Is open-plan living for you?

Today’s homes often embrace open-plan living, whereby the living room runs off the kitchen and/or dining areas. Open-plan living allows greater functionality, but can risk creating a vast, soulless space if not done right. To avoid a cavernous feel in an open-plan design, define areas with furniture, rugs and lighting, or consider using a wall divider. Also be sure to keep flooring, lighting and materials consistent throughout, for cohesiveness. Noise may be an issue – someone banging pots and pans while you’re watching TV, for example – so include lots of soft Mediterranean furnishings, such as rugs, curtains and couches to help absorb the noise. You will also need to factor in plenty of storage, so mess is kept at bay.
