The hallway
In the entrance hall, a Meridiani marble and a metal table topped with succulent arrangements by Grange Hall sit beneath an anamorphic mirror that resembles a mylar balloon.
Living room
The vast living room acts as both the formal living space and the TV/entertainment space.
There's a fireplace at one end, and a TV at the other.

Games room
Upstairs, the game room is ready for a night of fun playing “Space Invaders” on the custom arcade station or a movie on the drop-down screen.
Cloakroom
The cloakroom / powder room ties in with the theme.
Kids' bedroom
The kids bedroom features a calming, all-over blue scheme, with blue patterned wallpaper, blue carpeting, table lamps and accent cushions. The curved, upholstered headboard and statement bedroom lighting add glam factor.
