Colours and splendid touches of extravagance mark this apartment, placed inside an aristocratic building
Living in a large apartment, inside a 17th-century noble building, involves specific choices, but in this case, it also encourages the ambition and pleasure of daring.
Interior designer Pietro Motisi, who dealt with the makeover of this beautiful home, told us: “I never thought of upsetting the spaces and the distribution of the environments!”.
After the entrance door, all the rooms are connected by a short hallway, which has probably replaced the original sequence of the rooms that once followed one after the other. A more practical solution was thus adopted, due to changing housing needs.
The large hall is the heart of the house: the atmosphere is soft, and everything is dominated by colours that embrace the range of red: from the fabric of the Napoleon III sofa to the shades of the lady with jewels of the mid-19th century, up to the Louis XVI-style armchairs in San Leucio velvet. In front, you find a chestnut sofa and, on the terracotta floor, an ancient Aubusson rug.
A double-flight staircase leads to the large kitchen, used for informal breakfasts. From the dining room/kitchen, you access the terrace, where the colour given by the plants dominates, together with the ceramic floors and the walls painted in a bold fuchsia nuance. An incredible balance between ancient floors, doors, windows, family objects, and modern furnishing elements makes the mood of this home unique.
