Yours in Splendour

Opulent interiors are synonymous with grand design involving deep jewel hues, tactile and plush fabrics, and bold metallic detailing. Here more is more, and for some modern home owners, it’s impossible to see this maximalist design style with a contemporary eye.

Offering a guide to acquiring this grandeur, we round up the essential elements, colour palettes and main considerations for an opulent design.

THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS

Going back to basics is a good place to start when tackling an interior that requires a distinct look and feel. Interior design consultant Kabelo Madiba of Roche Bobois South Africa and Mauritius says for a balanced, well put together interior, you should always refer to the most important element of design, which is the use of lines.

“This refers to the layout of the room, considerably with space planning. Another element that plays a huge role and can be neglected at times is introducing light and/or taking advantage of the natural light the space offers, which is always refreshing and a good addition to the ambience you wish to create.

“Finally, adding hints of colour to lift a setting by the use of accessories, carpets or artworks always completes the look while introducing the texture and patterns at the same time.”
