"“When we first started hunting for a new home, we thought we were looking for a large, nicely renovated period property,” Orima explains. “However, when I saw this property come on the market, I was instantly drawn to it despite it not ticking any of these boxes: It is a quite modern, featureless build on a main road!”"
"“The blank walls and endless possibilities are what eventually sold Orima on this 1990s, four-bedroom home in a neighborhood north of central Bristol, England. As a project enthusiast, Orima admits that quite quickly, the ‘DIY cogs started turning.’”"
"“Two years later, Orima and Joel have reimagined the once-basic house into a colorful oasis for her two young children, and dog, Nero, to enjoy.”"
"“I would describe our new home aesthetic as 'midi-malistic' - bold colors, prints, and patterns in calm, deep earthy tones, with newly introduced traditional features, such as molding and paneling, and plenty of brass and gold accents,” Orima says. “Our style draws on features from many eras of architecture and different schools of design, reflecting our eclectic tastes but hopefully drawn together in a cohesive and unique way.”"
A couple searching for a renovated period property found a 1990s four-bedroom house that looked modern and featureless on a main road. Blank walls and potential convinced them to buy despite not matching their original criteria. Over the next two years, they reimagined the home into a colorful oasis for their two young children and their dog. The home aesthetic is described as “midi-malistic,” combining bold colors, prints, and patterns with calm, deep earthy tones. Newly added traditional elements such as molding and paneling were paired with brass and gold accents. The overall style blends features from multiple architectural eras and design schools into a cohesive, unique look.
