Nina Senanu is a remarkable woman who wears many hats – she's a successful businesswoman, an interior décor expert, a fashion designer, and a true connoisseur of style. While she values her privacy, after some persistent persuasion, she graciously offered Art of Living a sneak peek into her beautifully curated living space.
Upon arriving at her posh gated community home, I was immediately struck by the tight security measures in place. Beyond the entrance, a striking white hanging swing chair with a metal stand caught my eye, inviting me to lounge and enjoy a cup of tea with a good book. As a testament to the family's love for sports, two basketball hoops stood majestically on the property.
When Nina finally guided me inside her home, I was overwhelmed by the sleek, sophisticated, and elegant design that enveloped me. The living room exuded freshness and style, with meticulously arranged furniture and a contemporary atmosphere. The house had a pleasant and inviting scent, adding to the overall ambiance.
The hallway boasted a sleek table and mirror that left a lasting impression, complemented by a stunning orchid display. The various shades of nude gray and beige in the living room created a coordinated and tranquil environment. The gypsum ceiling, large windows, and brick wall near the modern fireplace gave the home a distinctive character and an airy feel.
Nina shared her thoughts on interior design trends, noting, "Contemporary style is on trend. I change my home theme often depending on the trend and my mood." She emphasized the importance of keeping walls and curtains neutral to facilitate easy transformations in interior design.
Beige comfy sofas were, modern and sophisticated, one of the highlights of her home was the mud cloth cushion covers on her sofas, which featured designs with deep cultural significance. Nina seamlessly incorporated African design into her décor, with the mud cloth's beige colors blending seamlessly with the contemporary theme. The turquoise accessories added a pop of color, and the luxurious beige carpet felt soft and inviting. The round gold and glass table was a striking piece that perfectly matched the overall theme.

Art adorned the walls, with family gallery photos adding a personal touch to the space. The dining room exuded class and opulence, featuring a show-stopping crystal chandelier and ornate mirrors that added a touch of glamour. The glass dining table, with its wooden base, was a unique and exceptional addition. White dining chairs provided comfort, and the reflection of the chandelier on the glass table was mesmerizing.
In a corner of the dining area, Nina displayed artistic artifacts that were beautifully illuminated, creating an appealing focal point. She shared insights about the possibility of sourcing custom-made furniture locally, illustrating her attention to detail and commitment to creating a paradise within her home.
The spacious kitchen featured white cabinets and a white and grey-black backsplash, adding character and personality. Nina recommended using a backsplash to prevent kitchen walls from getting dirty during countertop activities.
Upstairs, a wooden staircase led to the TV room, which featured comfortable grey sofas, unique artifacts displayed on gypsum shelves, and an overall incredible ambiance. Nina's attention to detail was evident in every corner of her home, reflecting her dedication to creating a personal haven.
As we ventured into her daughter's bedroom, I was pleasantly surprised by the unconventional color scheme dominated by blue and white. White sleek side tables, luxurious curtains, a white bed, and blue walls created a surprisingly cohesive and artistic look. Nina explained, "My daughter is artistic, and I wanted to create a unique space for her, moving away from traditional pinks and purples."
