This modern retreat practically hangs off the rocky cliffs overlooking Mallorca's Port de Sòller village. No detail has been left to chance, and we were thrilled to work with the homeowner to bring some of the outside colors in.
Every detail in this breathtaking sea home is an homage to the blue sea below and craggy pine trees surrounding the property. The living room’s main couch, with its clean lines and sophisticated low profile needed a facelift so we started reimagining what it could look like with our hand painted vintage hemp fabrics. We painted each of our vintage blankets complementary hues of blue to then be upholstered over the couch. The result is an inky blue, somewhere between a stormy Mediterranean blue and indigo, that honors the sea below. Complete with some seawashed greens which swell up from the sea to mix with the blues, and this couch has now become a centerpiece of color which also added new depth to the entire space.
And since nearly every surface in both his sea home is impeccably chosen for its perfection, we thought introducing some of our rustic & nubby open weave linen would provide a bit of contrast & whimsy to some of the bedrooms. Since this fabric is so different from the others with which we work, we decided to develop a whole new way to dye it, to really play up its texture & open weave. The result is a degradé pattern which fades from light to dark. In this room, this manifested itself as gray ombré curtains, which lent a perfect contrast to his polished microcement floors. And in the end, these pieces bring a new dimensionality to the space.
Whoever said that modern & rustic can't coexist has never seen this breathtaking example.
