PROJECT: ARIZONA (Country Living at RHomes Grand Tierra Part 2)

Country living with hints of modern elegance characterizes these model homes for one of the newest developments of Robinsons Land in Northern Luzon. Continuing from my post in Part 1, this time Part 2 is about the Arizona unit that my friend Erika and I designed, furnished and styled.

The smaller of the two homes, the design of the Arizona was a bit different compared to the Nevada unit (check Part 1 here). A more earthy palette is used here, meaning more browns, beige and orange that creates a more rustic look. Despite having a smaller space, it was still important to have a cushioned sofa and different layers of throw pillows for a very cozy living space. The perfect balance of lightness and comfort was achieved by mixing different styles of furniture, keeping in mind to choose the right size and just the essential pieces for a smaller space. Just a few tips to create that cozy living space, use soft furnishings such as curtains and upholstered furniture. Try to opt for more curves and less sharp angles because visually, they have softer features and they also make moving around the much easier. 

Moving up, you're greeted first with the cozy master bedroom. Neutral hues creates a more elegant look, brown curtains were matched with the patterned wallpaper creating that perfect accent wall. To maximize the bed space, floor lamps were used instead of the usual side tables to give space for a bigger bed.

Compared to the Nevada house, the kids' bedrooms here both have smaller sizes. It was quite a challenge to balance size and comfort for each but luckily, we were able to find the perfect furniture pieces for both. To keep things interesting, each room was designed to have it's own identity with the help of unique graphics on the walls, as well as a few simple accessories. Lastly, the right choice of colors and a good amount of natural light gave these rooms a nice open feel despite its cozy size.
