Cristina has a lot of fun playing with color. The general idea was to create a rich variety of textures on a base of neutral tones, mainly in earth tones, and to break it up from time to time with warm colors that generate a subtle contrast, such as the intense blue of the exterior woodwork or the yellow of the wild silk curtains in the dining room.
The mint green of the kitchen fronts is transferred to the stem of the Murano glass flowers that illuminate the dining area, while touches of reddish are found in various details of the house, from the kitchen hangers to the antique cushions in the loft, from the Vicenç textile workshop in Mallorca.
The different touches of braided natural fibers rub against your skin as you walk through the rooms, while combinations of ceramics recovered from old farmhouses line the bathroom and kitchen fronts, evoking the traditional style of the area, as do the terracotta floors. Linen fabrics that envelop you at night and solid ash and oak wood define and enrich the spaces.
The art in any home is what most reflects the people who live there. In this house, Cristina wanted to include pieces that had an emotional connection for her and reminded her of lived moments. The living room boasts a pair of Zinzolo armchairs by Vittorio Varo, produced by Plan Interior Design in the 1960s, perfect for weekend reading in front of a walled courtyard filled with hydrangeas, bathed in natural light.
Cristina Carulla Studio has the ability to transform any space into a deeply intimate environment, in this case with a more country style but always sophisticated, achieved through the combination of iconic pieces, a variety of fabrics, colors and natural elements. In short, it is a house that defies traditional expectations of its type of construction, betting on an innovative design in an area known for its classic style. It is an intimate and quiet renovation that invites contemplation.
