I am pretty sure this is the best window in all of Cape Town... . . #showroom #attic #atticwindow #sourcing #interiordesigner #designmonarchy #decorating #interiorinspiration #interiorstyling #love #interiordesign #cecileandboyds #TNChustler #DSpattern #trend #interiors #spaces #decor #windowview #window #capetown #whimsical #hiddengem

Connected to the Atrium is a slightly more formal residents' lounge. Taking cue from the original colour scheme used in the Atrium, we selected a toned-down collection of fabrics for the lounge - shades of teal and blue, grey and warm neutrals. As we usually tend to do, we upholstered our trusty custom-made contemporary tub chairs in two different fabrics. For the outside back, we sourced a striped fabric, while the inside of the chair was upholstered in a plush grey. . . #fabric #interiordesigner #designmonarchy #decorating #interiorinspiration #interiorinspo #interiorstyling #interiordesign #mybeautifulmess #TNChustler #DSpattern #grey #livecolorfully #calledtobecreative #trend #retirement #retirementinteriors #tub #chair #capetown #patio #blue #lounge #sunroom

As we mentioned in a previous post, the "Atrium" has big floor-to-ceiling windows on either side of the space. It was this feature that inspired us to turn the area into a conservatory-like social space for the residents of the retirement complex. Now, any sunroom worth its salt will have some comfy seating, right?! With this thought in mind, we had big, gorgeous deep-buttoned wingback chairs made for the one window wall. To add some interest and punch, the wingbacks were upholstered in either a deep blue or seafoam coloured outdoor fabric. We chose this fabric specifically for its lightfastness (big window = lots of sun) and lovely soft "handle" or feel - so unlike most outdoor fabrics which can have quite a hard and stiff texture. Now tell me, who would want to sink into one of those comfy wings and enjoy a nice cuppa in the sun?! . #fabric #interiordesigner #designmonarchy #decorating #interiorinspiration #interiorinspo #interiorstyling #interiordesign #mybeautifulmess #TNChustler #DSpattern #seafoam #happy #livecolorfully #calledtobecreative #trend #retirement #retirementinteriors #wingback #chair #capetown #patio #blue #lounge #sunroom

Another snap of the Atrium's woven #rattan / banana leaf patio suite with its bright floral cushions. We paired the existing suite with custom-made contemporary tub chairs in a deep sky blue fabric to further liven up the lounge area. It makes for a bold and happy little seating nook, especially against the warm #terracotta tiled floor. . #fabric #interiordesigner #designmonarchy #decorating #interiorinspiration #interiorinspo #interiorstyling #interiordesign #mybeautifulmess #TNChustler #DSpattern #floral #happy #livecolorfully #calledtobecreative #trend #retirement #retirementinteriors #botanical #cushion #chair #capetown #patio #blue #lounge
