THE KITCHEN/LIVINGROOM of the show unit at Delvin Banks is a comfortable, practical family space .
The vanilla and light grey colourscape is warmed by the rich colour from the Malabar Kuta fabric in the curtains which costs €45.50 a metre and the cushions which are made in Malabar Kamla and Kuta fabrics from €39.80 a metre. Both came from The Natural Interior (01 4737444).
The kitchen is a high gloss vanilla model from McNally Contract Kitchens and has a dark emperador granite worktop. L-shaped with an island section, it has been designed for ease of use with cooking appliances at one end of the kitchen while the dishwashing facilities are at the other end. Different heights of wall units have been used to break the monotony. The taller units also provide extra storage.
Expect to pay about €11,000 for a kitchen of similar size and quality. The granite worktop costs around €5,000.
The New England-style sofa costs €1,250 and the Tosca solid oak dining table €595, both from Meadows Byrne.
There are some luxurious touches in the bedroom such as the wool velvet carpet which costs €62 a sq m. The imposing headboard, was custom made in walnut and Siam silk fabric panels and costs around €780.
The curtains are faux suede fabric from Malabar and cost €46 a metre. They are interlined and on a discreet ceiling track.
All of the bedroom fabrics are available to order from The Natural Interior.
