Oloidien

This portfolio was shot for an Interior Design Company, following refurbishment of the property.

Previously called ‘Greenoaks’, the newly named ‘Oloidien’ had been completely restyled, to save it from the forgotten 90s. My brief was to capture the fresh, renewed colour and ‘zest’ of the property, now that the interior and furnishings were back in fashion.

Sweeping Staircase

From the living room, the open staircase takes centre stage. Polished floors and soft lighting add warmth that belie the generous space that greets guests to the home. Built in the 90s, refurbishment has given the hallway new life.

Kitchen Retreat

Secluded from a busy kitchen, the family room draws you in, with plush furnishings and soothing light. The L shape couch makes you want to relax and watch a good movie, while the storage baskets ensure that everything remains neat and tidy.

Ensuite Luxury

Leading off the master bedroom, this tranquil bathroom leads into a luxury suite of bathing, showering and preening. The bath uplighters make this the room's central feature, while the mirrors and flooring add a 5 star touch to your daily grooming.

Studious Tranquility

This extremely comfortable study exudes an air of professionalism, with a practical yet homely feel. Accompanied by a comfy armchair, there's still opportunity for idle chit-chat, while the business of the day is addressed and sorted.

Master Comfort

Nothing tempts a good nights sleep more than a comfortable bed covered in plump cushions and a thick quilt. The attention to detail here in the master bedroom invites rest and tranquility, away from the busy household surrounding it.

A Relaxed Soak

Extremely clean lines and fittings make the master bathroom a pleasure to frequent. The standalone bath, the ornate tap, and the marble floor whisper luxury, while the hanging candle and the flower display provide a touch of homeliness and warmth.

Kitchen Snug

This family snug provides privacy and relaxation, yet still within sight and earshot of the large and sociable kitchen. Perfect for the children while preparing food, or for the family to adjourn to, once dinner is finished.

Downstairs Cloakroom

The luxurious fittings of the home spill over into the downstairs cloakroom. Complete with chrome taps, full length mirroring and the customary bath products, this room makes a good impression on visitors to the home.

Soak In Style

In my experience, the standard of a home is measured by the fittings of the master bathroom. This house certainly lives up to expectations, with an ensuite on par with a 5 star hotel. There's no denying the bath is the main feature.

Home Living

4 spaces in one ensure the kitchen brings the whole family together at, and around, meal times. Food is prepared, others relax in the tv room, the dining room is used for study and the washing spins in the utility room.

Grand Entrance

Set behind these ornate iron gates, the paved driveway leads to the security of the home's front door. Shrouded in shrubbery, the front garden ensures that privacy is kept within the grounds and the residents are not disturbed.

Family Bathroom

The family bathroom upstairs is a class above the typical mess and clutter families create in one of the home's busiest hubs. Twin sinks, bright lighting and extensive mirroring make this an inviting place to visit, morning, noon and night.

Social Living

The family snug makes for a glorious suntrap throughout the day, ensuring the blinds remain at half mast. The layout is perfect for social occasions, both formal and relaxed, while the cushions add a sense of style and pizzazz.

The Master Suite

Calm and serenity are ingredients of the perfect master bedroom, and this one ticks all the right boxes. Mirrored furniture reflects the size of the room, and the opulent bed draws you into the space, as you dream of sleep and rest.

Luxury Fittings

The Grand Driveway

Sweeping through the front gates, the paved path to the house is wide and welcoming, able to accomodate a whole fleet of cars. The shrubbery either side mask much of the front garden, ensuring privacy and seclusion from the road outside.

Guest Rest

This guest bedroom welcomes the sunlight in the early morning, the perfect time to rise and shine. Minimally furnished, the room is spacious and uncluttered, with no distractions from the nature of rest and relaxation.

Cloakroom Pampering

This room of convenience is certainly not void of styling, in keeping with the rest of the house's restoration. Mirrors, crystal cut handles and perfect lines manage to make the smallest room in the house a cut above the rest.

Morning Sunshine

At the start of the day, this guest bedroom is soaked in sunshine, making a welcome start to the day. Spacious and simply furnished, it exudes luxury and comfort without unnecessary clutter. Guests can expect to be well rested here.

Styled Ensuite

Like a film star's dressing room, this ensuite is awash with lights, bulbs and sophistication. The pleasure of this room is that so much has been fitted into the space, but not at the expense of appearing muddled or overcrowded.
