Home tour: Sunny Sydney terrace Simon Whitbread

Take a look at this timeless home which dares to decorate on the wild side with sunny yellows, oranges and reds.

Dining room with yellow chairs

Dining room

Yellow ‘Chester’ chairs from Coco Republic and a futuristic Moooi ‘Raimond Zafu’ LED pendant light are dinner party talking points.

Kitchen with red stools

Kitchen

Lending an industrial feel to the cool and contemporary kitchen is a polished concrete island bench, which was created using the same Boral ‘Sandstone’ concrete as the floors, but ground back twice to reveal some of the aggregate. For a streamlined look, the couple chose recessed ceiling lights by Targetti, sleek handle-free drawer fronts and a stainless-steel benchtop and splashback for the galley bank of cabinetry. Kartell ‘Charles Ghost’ orange bar stools from Space and a Kartell ‘Moon’ fruit bowl inject vibrant personality.

Sitting room

This blend of old and new is on show in the front sitting room, where the original fireplace surround houses a new Heat & Glo gas fire. Walls in Dulux Lexicon Quarter provide a brisk white backdrop for art – a Penelope Metcalf painting, leased through Artbank, hangs above the fireplace – and to an elegant mix of furnishings: a ‘Wiltshire’ sofa with exotic Schumacher ‘Chiang Mai Dragon’ cushions, plus ‘Club’ armchairs in a geometric teal fabric, all from Coco Republic. 

Bedroom

Master bedroom 

Behind the bed, a wall of cabinetry – created by Homestyle Kitchens and finished in Eveneer timber veneer in Milkwood – effectively solved the home’s storage shortage, together with another full wall of cabinetry in white on the opposite wall.

Baby's room with mural on wall

Nursery

A wall decal (for similar, try Bel Bambino Kids) and a patchwork coverlet from Adairs bring sweetness and fun to the nursery, and set a soft, pastel palette. The white furniture – a cot and dresser by French children’s brand Jacadi – keeps the look light and bright. 

Sydney terrace

Exterior

Sliding doors connect the courtyard with the downstairs living areas and lend the home a summer feel year-round. An external blind from Sunmaster is hidden above the doors, to reduce glare in the living room. Easy-to-maintain concrete flooring was laid through the kitchen and living room, and out to the courtyard for a seamless indoor/outdoor flow.
