relocated to London.
Canadian Home Trends CAN YOU TALK
ABOUT THE MASTER BEDROOM’S
DESIGN AND LAYOUT?
Maurizio Pellizzoni As with the rest of the
apartment, we wanted to create an illusion
of space, which is always at a premium in
London. We decided to install a large panel
of glass to divide the bedroom and living
space. To keep the room more open, we
used sheer curtains in front of the Poliform
wardrobe. The final result is a masculine
bedroom. The wallpaper used on the righthand side of the bed connects the ground
and the bedroom floors. The same wallpaper
was also used on the entrance wall. The
bed and bedside tables are positioned in
front of the wardrobe, hiding the master
bathroom behind the mirrored sliding door.
For privacy, we added a large electric blind
that can block off the entire glass wall and
window facing the street.
CHT CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE
STAIRCASE?
MP The staircase is the focal of the
apartment. It connects the ground floor to
the bedroom and the above terrace. The
staircase is made of powder-coated steel,
and is a very simple and basic concept. The
whole staircase is a floating bridge with a
four inch gap all around it.
CHT CAN YOU OFFER WORDS OF
WISDOM TO READERS LOOKING TO
RE-DESIGN THEIR SPACE?
MP Don’t rush the design process, it is the
most important part of any refurbishment. To
obtain a great design you need time.
