A Stunning Reign By Nu Infinity

Daring and edgy, this family home is a Marvel that is certain to incite the envy of everyone who walks into its doors. Challenging the conventional home interiors, every minute detail of this home has been looked into, and interesting elements have been added for a magnifique result.

The task of designing an interior of a home can be a daunting task as not only must the interior design firm fulfill the brief but they would also need to take into consideration the needs and wants of every occupant of the home while meeting the occupants’ expectations. Interior designing can seem like mammoth mission but not for the Nu Infinity team. Commissioned to design this semi-detached home in Bahau, Negeri Sembilan, their brief was to design a home fit for a growing family. Armed with this foundation, the ID team decided to break the mold of conventional family homes to design a dwelling that is modern, sleek and edgy. From the outside, this home looks like any other industrial-design home but that’s only revealed when one enters it. Fondly called ‘Le Gris’ that stands for The Grey in French, the tone of this home is set from the get-go and is a shining example of present-day family home.

The theatrics begin even before we get inside the home as the main entrance has been relocated to the side and a welcoming path leads to the foyer entrance. This home, an amalgamation of greenery, shrubbery, and natural tones, can be closed off for privacy with a slat panel wooden sliding door in honey and black. The side entrance leads to the living area, where one instantly understands why this home is called ‘Le Gris’. Spanning 3,850 sq ft over two floors, the first floor houses the communal area designed in shades of grey and black with white to complement.

What strikes the eye is the feature wall behind the TV. Employing marble-like matte tiles in grey for the bottom half, the feature wall’s top half is made up of an onyx panel interlaced with vertical slats. The TV console in off-white breaks the monochrome while matching the light grey tiles. The settee in a dark grey matches the ambiance. The entire room is made brighter by sunlight streaming through large windows. Pop of colours are in the forms of throw pillows and an armchair in mustard.

The open space concept enables the dining room to be adjacent to the living area. Things take a darker turn at the dining area where anchor grey and black are prevalent in the space. Short tube lighting is overhead the dining table that is fashioned from a slab of timber (the wood grain pattern which is unique to individual timber) adds distinction to the space. The dry kitchen has been designed to look exceptionally large in scale, creating a backdrop for the entire Ground Floor. The cabinetry, appliances & accessories and hidden door that leads to the wet kitchen are in onyx. The only colour comes from the white sink while mirrored panels add length to the space.

The first floor is home to the bedrooms. The colour palette of the ground is replicated into the master bedroom and that gives the home a fluid movement where all the interior is in symphony. The master bedroom is the magnum opus of this abode. Designed to be spacious, both the bedroom and walk-in wardrobe are given delicate finishes and ample of natural sunlight penetration points.

The walk-in wardrobe features an elongated dressing table with Hollywood vanity mirror. While in the sleeping area, black slat panels that doubles up as sliding door is juxtaposed with marbled wall to elevate the space. The attached bathroom has been given the same marble-like matte tiles treatment as a result it gives occupants to a cool, comforting embrace. The other bedrooms and study rooms too have been tastefully designed. The materials chosen further illustrates the owner’s appreciation for tasteful designs and carefully detailed profiles.
