Elwood Apartment

Styling and update of an Elwood apartment with a great outdoor space.

The owner wanted an "on trend" calming space that would attract a young clientele on airbnb. We created the personality of the space with warm grey walls and update the bathroom with a lighter shade. The bedroom is very restful and inviting. People crave more than just a bed when they travel, so we added a bold aesthetic with lots of personality. The property is constantly in demand and the client was overjoyed with the results.
Project Year: 2016
Project Cost: $10,001 AUD - $25,000 AUD
Country: Australia
Postcode: 3184
We updated the dated bathroom with a new toilet and strong wall colour. The project was very much budget driven but simply adding the strong grey wall and yellow towels added lots of personality to the space.

Bedroom with soothing greys and yellow accents. Views onto the garden. The bedlinen are a mixture of greys and the side tables are simply ikea stools in a strong colour to add a "pop" to the space. The mirrors hung on the wall are inexpensive Victorian mirror hung asymmetrically on the wall.

We updated the outdoor furniture we purchased at an auction house with bright colours and fun chinese lanterns. The bamboo walls added a fun element to an otherwise boring wall. The neighbours planted bamboo which I love since it adds a level of privacy to the garden.

The outdoor terrace in the Elwood home is surprising large so we furnished it with various plants, a hammock, newly painted benches from a local auction house and Chinese solar powered lanterns.

Living Room
This custom art installation we created for the living room. A deconstructed a set of unified circles create with watercolour paint. With the tight budget and vacation rental audience we framed the artworks and hung them with lots of space around each frame.
Custom Art Wall
These are custom created artworks for the space. We designed them based on the owner wanting the space to be dog friendly. Instead of simply adding a random large format poster to the wall we decided to create the family portrait wall. A fun way to decorate and add personality to a space that the...

The brief was a space that was dog friendly but filled with colour. Its not a huge space so we toned down the colour in the spaces such as the bedroom for a calmer feel. We added fun elements with the carpet and cushions to keep is lively and filled with personality. Since completing the project...
