Living room

Custom-built bookcases by Splurge Furniture Design house family photos and a selection of books. “I love reading and I think books create a sense of warmth in a home,” says homeowner. An inviting cornflower blue armchair, from interior consultant Denai Kulcsar, is ideal for curling up in.

Kitchen

The rattan bar stools were ordered from Interiors Online. When they arrived after a lengthy wait – they were made in the Netherlands – homeowners found they were too tall for the bench! Thankfully they could be cut down to size.

Dining area

The ‘Celine’ buffet with a distressed finish from Coco Republic complements the nightscape painting while the two lamps from One World Collection help to frame the area.

cosy spot

A plush sofa and armchairs, ordered through interior consultant Denai Kulcsar, provide cosy comfort in this sitting room.

Master bedroom

Plantation shutters tie in with the elegant Hamptons style homeowners favours – the Riviera Maison ‘Hyannis Port’ bench seat from French Dressing epitomises this perfectly. The room flows onto a wrap-around verandah; a popular spot for the homeowners where they enjoy sunny afternoons watching their boys play.

Master bedroom

Lamps and side tables from La Maison continue the French provincial look. Embossed bedlinen accentuates the space’s restful tone – try Bianca Lorenne for similar bedlinen (biancalorenne.com.au).

Powder room

Tucked under the stairs, this powder room was given a makeover with Best of Asia III ‘BA327’ grasspaper from Ascraft and tongue-and-groove panelling.
