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.

Country living with hints of modern elegance characterizes these model homes for one of the newest developments of Robinsons Land in Northern Luzon. In this project, I was asked by my good friend and fellow designer Erika Uichanco to team up with her in transforming two of these units into potential dream homes for the people of Tarlac. Here you'll see the Nevada Unit, the larger of the two homes we worked on. It's a three bedroom unit with a spacious living and dining space, not to mention the kitchen with it's own breakfast bar counter.
Starting with the open-plan ground floor, Erika and I went with natural colors, different shades of green, brown and beige to create that country atmosphere. A comfy and modern sofa, interesting geometric elements and lots of natural light welcomes guests into this home. To complement the modern furnishings, we used rattan stools and other touches of wood for that cozy country feel. On the other side of the room, a wooden dining set with avocado green upholstery was used to complete that natural country theme. By using this more neutral palette in the combined living and dining area, the greens and teals were allowed to stand out, keeping things simple yet interesting.
The masters bedroom also has the same country theme. A custom headboard made of stained wood planks extend all the way up to the high ceiling while tree-patterned wallpaper creates a beautiful accent wall that gives the feeling of living in a log cabin in the woods. In one corner, an easy chair and foot rest provides a relaxing reading corner. Behind this reading space, modular wardrobe cabinets easily transforms the space into a walk-in-closet leading towards the bathroom.
Both the children's bedrooms also have their own unique personalities. The boys' bedroom makes use of vibrant reds and deep blues to create a nautical themed bedroom. Custom made beds are painted in matching shades of blue, with each bed paired with a storage chest for the two boys. To complete the look, nautical themed accessories are added in for a touch of the sea, the red oar being one of my favorites. On the other hand, the girl's bedroom uses white furniture on a backdrop of pastel yellow and teal for a more refreshing look. To match the elegant wallpaper, a custom headboard was made with upholstered panels in similar hues. Accessories were also carefully chosen to create a bedroom well suited for a teenage daughter.
