The design profile: modern colonial charm
The opulent fabrics that elevate a room from standard to stunning are the result of deliberate choices — and Deborah’s living room is a masterclass in texture. For her main curtains, she selected Latimer by James Dunlop in the crisp, refined shade of Blanc. Part of The Avenues collection, this contemporary jacquard fabric is a beautiful, modern interpretation of the classic aesthetic found in historic inner-city villas. It thoughtfully explores the timeless design of the colonial era and reinterprets it for the way we live today, giving Deborah’s home a sophisticated, grounded feel.
Crafting elegance in the details
Truly special homes are defined by the details you might not notice at first glance, but feel instantly. To give her curtains an extra layer of luxury, Deborah opted for a classic triple pinch pleat heading, also known as a French pleat. By gathering the fabric into tight groups of three, this style creates a rich, full drape with a beautiful fan-like detail at the top. It’s an elegant, European-inspired touch, and Deborah placed it perfectly in the spaces where it can be admired every single day.
Balancing light and luxury
Achieving the perfect balance between beautiful natural light and everyday privacy is a fine art. Throughout her entranceway, bedrooms, living areas, and kitchen, Deborah maintained a cohesive look by installing 50mm wood-look Venetian blinds in White and Canvas White. The slimmer slat size allows the home to be flooded with soft, natural light while keeping the spaces entirely private, proving that you never have to compromise functionality for style.
