Diego’s house is impressive not only because it is tasteful decorated but also because it reflects the many interest the owner. It is a home with a lot of character – one that certainly “looks after” the people living in it. As much he can, he avoids items that are difficult to maintain. For furniture – he prefers a style designed along slim, elegant lines. For his living room, he has selected an Italian, classical-inspired design which complements the contemporary setting. Interesting is Diego’s idea of placing his furniture pieces at sight angles to the walls. “in this the way the decor looks pleasing from every position you view it,” Diego’s explain. He opts for soothing colors that result in a cozy atmosphere. “I don’t like white because I feel it is very harsh and color which reminds me of hospitals,” said Diego.
Cream, however, he feels is different. It has a soft quality which is both cooling and relaxing. Home for his own should always have a light, bright and air atmosphere. In fact this was one of the things that attracted him to the apartment. He also likes the apartment because of its very modern lines. He has a fascination for all things contemporary. Even where art is concerned, he prefers modern forms to antiques. Exquisitely designed crystal-ware, silverware and porcelain are among some of the most valued collections. These have been amassed from all over the world. Another collection which Diego takes great pride in is his music albums. He enjoys listening to all the latest songs. His favorite singer includes the Air supply, Kenny Rogers and Diana Ross. A sunken portion of the living room has been converted into a “music den”. There is a built-in shelf just below the windows where he stores his impressive record collection.
