A home that holds both grandeur and warmth — and refuses to choose.
This full-service project presented a beautiful design challenge: honouring our clients' love of richly ornamented furniture and gilded finishes, while creating a home that felt genuinely liveable — light, layered and welcoming, never formal or frozen.
The result moves between registers with confidence. Baroque leather sofas sit beneath sweeping organic artwork. A sculptural gilded mirror commands the entry alongside quietly textured bespoke drapes. Contemporary pebble-form mirrors cluster beside traditional carving. Nothing here is timid; and nothing shouts. It simply holds — the way a home should when every element has earned its place.
Fourteen months apart, the same address. Drag the line to move between the drywall stage and reveal night.




Dark leather. Reed artwork. Pebble mirrors.
A large-scale reed and wheat artwork provides a pastoral counterpoint to the drama of the baroque leather suite. Asymmetric pebble-form mirrors in walnut frames cluster on the adjacent wall — a contemporary gesture that keeps the space feeling current alongside the traditional forms.
Texture is the quiet language here: raw ceramic and olive green, gilded carving against ivory chenille. Each surface chosen not just for how it looks, but for how it feels to be surrounded by it.

Wave fold. Chenille ivory. Leather tiebacks.
Every curtain at The Jade Nest is fabricated by us. This treatment features a precision wave fold on a matte track in textured chenille ivory, with a sheer layer behind for depth. The handmade leather tiebacks are the quiet finishing detail — the kind you might not notice at first, but would notice if they were gone.
Bespoke curtains are not an add-on. They are the architecture of a room's softness, designed with the same care as every other element in the space.

The first impression
Gilded mirror. Sculptural lamp. Curated books.
The entry console is styled to be the exhale before the home begins. A baroque gilded mirror, a sculptural gold lamp, white ceramic with olive branches, and a considered stack of books. The marble-effect top ties to the floor below — every proportion resolved, top to bottom.
First impressions are a design opportunity. We do not leave them to chance.

The exhale before the home begins
Beyond the living spaces, the home shifts register — black leather and brass in the primary suite, a family portrait gallery in gold frames over the dining table. Drag the line: this is the same bedroom, months apart.

Flowers. Mirrors. Books.
Cream hydrangea and eucalyptus on the coffee table. The asymmetric mirror pair as a playful, modern counterpoint to ornate furniture. And the styling books — Ralph Lauren, Elements of Style, For the Love of White — not just decoration; they speak to how seriously this home takes beauty.
Design that engages all the senses is design that lasts.


There is a particular kind of home that does not ask you to choose between grandeur and warmth. This is one of them.— Project notes · Layered Grandeur
