The reception is the first place you see as you enter a home, so it comes with no surprise that is sets the mood of the interior. In this entryway, designed by Dina Farouk, every detail is a whisper of welcome—setting the tone for the living narrative that is yet to unfold. We see a combination of luxury and functionality coming together to capture the attention of anyone walking in. Join us as we explore this exquisite entryway, where every arrival feels like a grand event.
As you enter the home, you will be greeted by a hallway, where the cream tones and decent wall moldings set a laid-back base. This is topped with accents: A textured console table and organically shaped mirror (highlighted with LED lights) as well as a massive black wall print. It’s warm, but it makes a statement!
As you cross the hallway, the reception area greets you with plenty of textures and tones. A central table, hewn from marble, anchors the room, while plush olive sofas offer an invitation to linger. Above, a chandelier cascades like a modernist waterfall—its light playing off the warm glow of the sleek wall sconces. Finally, the bold artwork and statuesque piece add depth to the narrative of the space. Simultaneously, mirrored surfaces and strategic lighting amplify both the grandeur and the intimate corners.
Right beside the first sofa setting, we see another combination of velvet pieces. The sofa is understated, while the blue chairs add a pop of color. The marble coffee table—with its intricate veining—makes a statement in the center, while an identical chandelier ties the space together.
At the far end is a luxe dining space. The dining table uses opulent marble, which is complemented by plush velvet chairs. The organically shaped mirrors on the wall create a beautiful statement, while the potted plants factor in natural materials. A special mention for the chandelier using an assortment of small rods to create visual interest.
This modern reception area truly defines luxury living.
