Coastal living: a family home
Living area
An expansive living room is at the heart of this coastal-flavoured home in Victoria, with a grey ‘Frankie’ four-seater sofa from Fanuli Furniture adorned with sheepskins from Ikea and Adairs, geometric cushions from Lucky Boy Sunday and Big Chair Living, and a tie-dyed throw from Ines Cole in the UK (try Shibori for similar). Matching the relaxed palette is the side table with dipped legs and ottoman, both from Kmart, along with a floor hide from NSW Leather Co, and large silver floor lamp from Dwell.

Hall
The charming home is filled with tenderly made objects crying out to tell their story - like the whimsical 'Les Volières' birdcage pendant from Graham & Green in London.

Kitchen
The metro tiled kitchen is the perfect place to whip up delights for guests, who can take in the view on stools from The Vintage Shed under simple bulb pendants from Beacon Lighting. The timber benchtops have been limewashed to match the floors.

Dining area
A wooden ‘Malmo’ pendant from Beacon Lighting adds some warmth to the tulip-style dining table and replica Eames dining chairs, both from Vertigo Interiors in the UK (try Temple & Webster for similar).

Main bedroom
Filled with items in a neutral palette, including a Moroccan pouffe from Greedilulu, plant pouch from Stix & Flora, oak bead pendants from Big Chair Living and a macramé hanging from Three Queens Interiors, the main bedroom is a lovely, calming space. Keeping with the simple and elegant colour palette, the room features grey bed linen and cushions from H&M Home, Wowhaus, Lekka, a pop-up shop in London, and Habitat.

Balcony
The balcony off the main bedroom makes a beautiful sundeck in summer, but is made homey for cooler weather with bamboo chairs from Tingo, dressed with a throw from Greedilulu and round Wowhaus cushion. Plant pots from Loft By Ourlieu and Bunnings, a Barefoot Gypsy floor cushion from Greedilulu and Ikea lights help to dress the space.

Children's room
The Laura Ashley bed is dressed in Feliz Home ‘Sprinkle Sprinkle’ linen, while adding more colour is a ‘Sweet’ print from Dandy Star in the UK, an ‘Acapulco’ chair from Big Chair in Mornington, pretty bunting and a pink floral cushion from the French Petit Pan, plus a Freedom throw. The rug is from The Dusty Poppy.

Bathroom
In the bathroom, a sink and vanity from Ikea’s ‘Godmorgon’ range, customised with plywood on the front to break up the white, and topped with a tap from Swan Plumbing Supplies, becomes a storage-packed focal point.
