Project Name: Villa Son Gual

Location: Mallorca

Date Completed: 2020

Interior Designer: Knox Design

This project involved home-staging a property that has been built for resale, the key being to present it in a way that it enhances the property and the materials, defining living spaces and providing a canvas on which prospective buyers are able to paint imagined lifestyles. The property is situated on higher ground inland, with magnificent views of the Mallorca countryside and the sea. The aim was to convey the calm feel of a property surrounded by nature, with a jungle chic theme throughout.  

The design makes the most of the natural light flooding the home, diffused through the use of white voile window dressings. The open plan kitchen and dining area is white and luminous, with a comfortable linen green sofa on one end and green bar stools along the kitchen island, creating a multipurpose space for the whole family. The calm serenity of this spacious room is echoed in the reading corner, with chic basket hanging chair and bookshelf, and in the room chosen as a zen space for meditation. The lounge features two orange armchairs around the fireplace, whilst the bar promises evenings of cocktails and fun. The other space has a plush beige sofa and a stunning jungle themed wallpaper on the opposite wall with the leaf motif replicated in the wrought iron sculpture in the corner. 

The villa boasts beautifully landscaped gardens featuring a swimming pool and terrace, planted areas, lawn and a covered dining space. All outdoor furniture is weather-proof, involving little maintenance. The result is a beautifully appointed holiday home that brings the outside in, ready to show off its best features and seduce buyers with its spaciousness, light and tasteful presentation.    

This was a fun project for Knox Design to work with, as the main inspiration was the surrounding nature and light. Justine Knox was particularly happy to be able to incorporate her very own recycled design; the original and unique coffee table featuring the inside of a grand piano, all cased in wood and covered by glass.
