The Barefoot Bay Villa

A Design Masterclass

The Designory’s director Melissa Bonney had a vision for The Barefoot Villa. She wanted to create a luxurious getaway with the soul of a home. Melissa says, “We filled this home with carefully curated selections from businesses we really believe in. The home is as much a testament to them as it is to our design team…”. Discover the DIY Blinds range used to achieve Melissa’s vision.

Let there be light

Filled with skylights and louvred windows, The Barefoot Villa’s design is all about letting in as much light as possible. Sheer curtains help create privacy without losing the natural light the team worked so hard to incorporate into the design.

Nothing says coastal luxury quite like sheer curtains. The ripples of the light-weight fabric create an easy-going atmosphere while providing necessary privacy to bedrooms and living areas.

These sheer curtains from our Aesop range are made from a linen-poly blend, giving the look of natural linen curtains with the durability and low maintenance of synthetic material.

Sheer curtains from Aesop range colour parchment

Slim and subtle, blockout roller blinds hide behind sheer curtains allowing for long holiday lie-ins without compromising on style. The Barefoot Villa combines Aesop sheer curtains in parchment and blockout blinds in natural from the Kew range.

Neutral finishes, like these sheer curtains from our Aesop range in parchment, create a timeless design and allow the décor to take centre stage. With neutral and natural backdrops, The Barefoot Villa will always stay fresh and modern.

By running sheer curtains along the full length of the wall, rather than finishing where the window does, The Designory has made this living area feel larger, creating a seamless flow from kitchen to dining to living zones.

Even louvred windows need to close eventually. Sheer curtains paired with blockout roller blinds allow plenty of room for the windows to be opened and add to the luxury coastal feel.

The perfect blend

Our Aesop range was the perfect choice for The Designory’s luxurious holiday home. The 50-50 linen-poly blend allows for a durable finish without compromising on the style and luxury that linen provides, while the choice of sheers in parchment create a perfect backdrop that works with design elements in every room.
