Downsizing is not about compromise. For this couple—devoted collectors and lovers of beauty—it was an opportunity to refine, curate, and celebrate a lifetime of memories. Novamobili approached the design as one would a private gallery: elegant, calming, and deeply personal.
The result is a light-filled home where every space feels intentional, every object meaningful, and every room quietly speaks of a shared journey.
Living Among Art: A Home as an Ever-Evolving Gallery
From the moment you enter, the home reveals its soul. Soft, light-filled rooms are framed by walls lined with artworks, transforming everyday living into a gallery experience.
Rather than overwhelming the space, Novamobili allowed the art to breathe—carefully balancing neutral tones and refined materials so that each piece can tell its own story. Paintings, sculptures, and collected treasures form a visual narrative of decades of travel, creativity, and love.

The dining room is classical yet welcoming—designed to adapt effortlessly from slow mornings to elegant evenings.
It’s a place for breakfast at ease, bathed in natural light, and just as comfortably a setting for intimate dinner parties. Timeless furnishings, gentle proportions, and tactile finishes create an atmosphere that is refined without feeling formal—proof that elegance and comfort can coexist beautifully.

A Living Room of Soft Forms and Quiet Harmony
The living room embraces warmth through cozy, harmonious shapes. Soft seating invites long conversations, reflection, and shared moments, while carefully curated furniture provides a sense of balance and calm.
Here, the couple’s collections come together—each piece holding memories of a life shared. Objects are not merely decorative; they are emotional anchors, reminders of meaningful moments and milestones from their married journey.

The Study: Where Creativity Lives
The study is a sanctuary of inspiration, books line the walls, offering endless sources of creativity and reflection. Natural light, warm wood tones, and thoughtfully designed storage create a space that feels both stimulating and serene.
This is a room where ideas flow freely, where creativity is nurtured, and where the rhythm of daily life slows into thoughtful focus.

The Bedroom: Classical Soul, Modern Ease
In the bedroom, Novamobili took inspiration from the couple’s classical taste and enriched lifestyle—reinterpreting it through a contemporary lens.
Antique richness meets modern practicality. Warm woods and marble surfaces are softened with gentle textiles and light tones, creating a space that feels luxurious yet restful. Storage is seamlessly integrated, ensuring everyday ease without compromising the room’s timeless elegance.
It is a bedroom designed for comfort, dignity, and tranquillity—a retreat that honours the past while embracing the present.
A Thoughtful Balance of Old and New
Throughout the home, Novamobili masterfully combines antique and vintage pieces with modern design. Rich materials such as wood and marble are paired with soft furnishings and light finishes, allowing the home to feel layered rather than heavy.
This thoughtful dialogue between old and new reflects the couple themselves: rooted in tradition, enriched by experience, and open to contemporary living.
Designing for a Life Well Lived
This empty-nest home is not about starting over—it is about distilling what matters most. It is elegant without being precious, practical without losing soul, and deeply personal in every detail.
Novamobili has created more than a beautifully designed space; they have shaped a home that honours creativity, memory, and a lifetime of shared stories—proof that great design grows richer with time.
