Taking an updated spin on a West Indies style, this home reflects an eclectic mix and paired-down blend of cultures from several regions. Subtle influences from the British Colonies, India, Africa, China, South Asia, and of course the Caribbean played a role in the styling and architecture of this project. High ceilings with intricate crown moldings and coffered patterns along with exposed beams are just one way that we pay homage to the style.
Expansive windows flood the space with light, creating a connection to the outdoors. Soft ambient lighting also enhances each space elegantly. Traditional lighting fixtures paired with modern recessed lights come together to highlight architectural features and create a soothing atmosphere.
Rich wood tones in the flooring, beams, and furniture are complemented by a palette of soft hues, reflecting the sun-drenched warmth of the Caribbean and providing a calming backdrop for more intricate design elements. Upholstered pieces in natural fibers like linen and cotton, often in beige and grey tones enhance the relaxed yet refined feel. The careful selection of colors, materials, and cultural accents ensures a cohesive and inviting space. Varied textures add depth and interest, creating a tactile and visually engaging environment. The overall design focuses on creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. The perfect combination of all elements mentioned help us to achieve a sophisticated, modern interpretation of West Indies style that reflects the client’s desire for both elegance and tranquility effortlessly.
