Bespoke fixtures and industrial-inspired elements complete this visually arresting matrimonial home

For this newlywed couple, their dream home entailed having ample display units for their many collectibles. “The husband loves collecting toys, poker sets and alcohol. As such, they needed a dedicated area to display these items without cluttering up the entire home,” explains the Ethereall interior design team, who was engaged to oversee the renovation of the 12th floor unit.

In terms of the theme, the owners requested for an industrial-meets-rustic aesthetic. To achieve the desired look, the designers then employed the use of a selection of materials ranging from metal rods to concrete-lookalike finishes throughout the home. However, the most notable feature from this material palette is the brick feature wall in the living room.

Backing the home’s entertainment system, the wall was first clad in a cement screed finish, and then tacked on with real brick pieces – which were cut into slimmer variants to emulate a subway tile format. The television console area was then rounded off with the installation of a pair of metal structures that frame glass shelves which help keep the displayed collectibles tidy.
