Southern Sydney House

This gorgeous family home located in southern Sydney has been transformed over the course of 12 months. Our clients were a young family who had recently moved into the home and were faced with an abundance of space to fill. They had a good idea of the looks they liked, but felt unsure about where to buy furniture and homewares and how to pull the whole look together. Together we agreed that their style was a hybrid of Scandi meets luxes meets family friendly. The first area we worked on was the formal living space. The room had very generous proportions and great natural light. Although technically a formal space, with two small children the room still needed to be family friendly. Matching charcoal grey sofas are a comfy choice and the durable fabric choice easily hides wear and tear. When it came to cushions, texture was the name of the game. Leather, linen and velvet all feature heavily, with a soft palette of pale pink, grey, navy, neutrals and tan. It’s the little finishing touches that make this room extra special. We chose concrete and marble accessories with small doses of black and timber to keep the look fresh and modern. Next on our list was the master bedroom. And it was here that we really upped the luxury factor. Our clients really wanted this space to feel like an adults-only escape. We kept much of the colour palette from the downstairs area – navy, pale pink and grey – but we also added in crisp white and soft oatmeal tones to soften the look. We ditched the Scandi vibes and introduced luxury embellishments like glass lamp bases and tufting in the bedhead and footstool. The result was the perfect blend of relaxation and glamour. The final area to receive our magic touch was the dining room and kitchen. Many of the larger pieces were already in place, but the rooms needed dressing to bring them to life. Minty greens, cool greys and soft pinks work back perfectly with a blonde timber dining table a fresh white kitchen. Overall, each area of the home has it’s own distinct look, yet there are enough common elements in place to creative a cohesive design scheme. It’s a contemporary home that the clients and their young family will enjoy for many years to come. Scott Keenan - @travellingman_au
