Plascon House Tour: An Understated Creative Retreat

As you step inside this restored period home, you’ll immediately notice the elegant touches, understated creativity and open spaces that make up this beautiful home.

From the hallway and throughout the home, you are greeted with bright open areas and classic finds – not without a dose of creative genius. A chic pink stair carpet leads your eye upwards, while straight ahead the living room is a celebration of unusual art, modern and mid-20th century furniture and sophisticated colourways.

The new owners opted to restore this home and keep some of the original fixtures. As such, the original mouldings, skirtings and window shutters have been reinstated in the living room. Timeless wood flooring adds to the period look of this space.

We love the use of plush fabrics and deep colours that breathe life into this home. Beautiful upholstered furniture steals the show – in velvet finishes that add a wonderful tactile element to the living room.

A mix of artwork – some gifts and others painted by family members – add colour and energy to the home.

The dining room features elegant doorways that lead outside. High ceilings and wooden floors complete the sophisticated look here. A little drinks trolley adds to the party vibe in the dining space.

Beautiful ornate ceilings are a feature in many of the rooms, including the kitchen. Hints of bronze and black finishes give this room a contemporary ambience. A large kitchen island is also a functional space for preparing meals and making the most of the space here. Marble backsplashes, smoked-oak cabinets and a statement golden cooker hood brings stately elegance to the kitchen.

The master bedroom is light and feminine with floor to ceiling drapes in a soft blush tone. The bath features as a stand-alone statement piece, right in the master suite. Hints of black, white and blush complete the restful look in this tranquil retreat.
