These days, some people feel that the fairytale dream of “Going to the prince’s palace and living happily ever after” is an almost sickly sweet empty shell that they don’t know how to fill and that is very far from real life. For Ahead Concept, today’s real fairytale dream is to be cheerful without requiring external help, with a calm preference for life and relaxation in every space.
Tainan’s homeowners embrace colors and the patterns of their daily lives often incorporate some childhood interests. Their beloved French macaron colors inspire people to imagine the elegance and pleasure of fairytales and the Palace of Versailles. While various high-color combinations can create an intense design, perfectly balancing the proportion and allocations is critical in order to avoid a sense of ennui.
The public area of this design has been painted an ethereal grey and a lakeside green, which are matched with wood, as the foundation of large blocks of color. Different shades of pink, peach pink and deep-to-shallow blue-green are used as the middle color blocks in crossed line-like dialogs. Design details include classic line board to emphasize a castle-like style, as well as a situational bar counter, window panes and overlapping front-to-back mirrors to successfully enhance the visual senses and imbue the space with memory. The result embodies childlike interests together with the warmth and sense of belonging of “Home”.
As the fun macaron colors continue into the master bedroom. The sense of childlike interests is converted into rational colors and images, such as shades of greyin the master bedroom and bathroom. Furthermore, classic floors display a combined mild elegance and cuteness to create a unique sense of modern yet childlike fun. Although the bedroom carries on the same theme as the living space, it delicately neutralizes that almost sickly sweet empty shell to make it more suitable for its owner.
Pallets, a color-crossed fireplace, old window grilles, a park bench, paper lights with messages of loves, hand puppets, Valentine’s day bouquets, candy jars acquired from the couple’s travels, and other such objects add personal touches unique to this family in an exquisite way and fill this colorful home with the joys of living, goodness, beauty, and truth.
The real dream of the fairytale is to see what you want and make it a part of your daily life.
