Creative people are creative all of the time, even if that’s just in their own head space. What then, would a creative person imagine for their ideal living space one might ask? Well, these four special home tours take us on a little trip around the minds of some super creative individuals, giving us a peek into extraordinary interior design concepts that range from modernly homey with eye catching artistic touches, to a full blown gallery feel with only a few bits of home. These places feature not just works of modern art, but striking sculptural furniture pieces with a truly customised feel and some spectacularly unique lighting designs.
A channel tufted sofa makes a creative focal point in our first artistic living space, where soft white and muted red decor make rich contrast. A glass coffee table is held up on sculptural forms. Three-dimensional abstract shapes decorate its top.
