Navy velvet and walnut — a home that means business

Umm al-Fahm, Israel

THE CONCEPT

A residence built around a **deep navy velvet headboard with gold channel trim** that sets the home's tone: bold, composed, and uninterested in subtlety. The kitchen is a wall of walnut with a black stone island and hanging herb gardens.

The living room pairs cognac leather with navy armchairs against a walnut fireplace wall. A curved staircase with geometric black steel railings anchors the entrance beneath clusters of cacti and a rattan floor lamp.

Signature Detail
