Giava Interiors Unveils Presidential-Inspired Master Suite at Decorex - 5 Tips to Bring Luxury Home
Written by: Vinette Nicholls Save to Instapaper
Award-winning design firm Giava Interiors, led by designer Vinette Diab-Nicholls, unveiled a showstopping master suite at Decorex 2025 that has inspired homeowners and industry professionals alike to rethink the possibilities of luxury bedroom design.
Positioned as more than just a sleeping space, the Giava Interiors suite introduced a three-zone concept that caters to modern lifestyles — combining rest, work, and relaxation in a beautifully cohesive environment.
Here are five standout tips from Diab-Nicholls on how to bring presidential-level sophistication into your own bedroom:
1. Zone the Space: Sleep, Lounge, and Work
Luxury isn’t about size — it’s about smart use of space. The Giava team divided the master suite into three key zones:
- A sleep zone anchored by a plush velvet headboard and statement lighting
- A lounge zone with a curved sofa and sculptural coffee table
- A work zone seamlessly integrated behind the sofa for a sleek, space-saving solution
This intentional layout optimizes flow and function, ideal for today’s hybrid living needs.
2. Use Materials that Elevate
Velvet was the hero fabric throughout the suite, bringing softness and depth to the room. From embossed headboards to scatter cushions, the tactile finishes offered richness and contrast. A granite-topped timber coffee table echoed the natural curves of the sofa, adding visual balance and grounding the design in organic texture.
3. Incorporate Bold, Contemporary Colour
Giava Interiors embraced burgundy as the anchor colour of the suite — a bold yet elegant nod to the 1970s. Paired with deep navy and mustard accents, the palette brought warmth, confidence, and a modern-retro charm that resonates with current design trends.
4. Design with Intentional Functionality
The suite is proof that even compact spaces can feel luxurious. The desk-behind-the-sofa solution created a layered, multifunctional layout without clutter or visual disruption. Each piece served a defined purpose, reinforcing the brand’s “form meets function” ethos.
5. Style with Personality
To complete the presidential atmosphere, the team added layered lighting, curated décor, and signature scent elements. From bedside pendants to sculptural vessels and essential oil diffusers, every detail contributed to a polished, immersive experience.
A Word from the Designer
“You don’t need a renovation to feel like you’re living in a suite — just bold ideas, rich textures, and intentional design,” says Diab-Nicholls. “We design spaces that not only look beautiful, but feel deeply personal and functional.”
