In another part of the house, a seldom used study was given a new lease of life with graphic wallpaper and a gold frame around a favourite print. Smart dark green painted cabinetry with polished desktop contrast nicely with textured wool carpet on the floor. Now given the No Chintz treatment, this is now a well used and enjoyed work space.

Designed for the clients to appreciate the little joys, a sculpted, freestanding desk provides a reposeful nook to enjoy morning reading, overlooking the garden’s majestic Angaphora tree. Artworks of various scales, textures, and styles are thoughtfully combined, enhancing the sense of character and charm.

The owner also wanted a home office. In order to make this space feel comfortable and warm, we painted the walls with Lick's lovely shade "Pink 02".

First impression count as you enter this custom-built Horizon Homes property at Kellyville. The home opens into a stylish entryway, with soaring double height ceilings. It’s often said that the kitchen is the heart of the home. And that’s literally true with this home. With the kitchen in the centre of the ground floor, this home provides ample formal and informal living spaces on the ground floor. At the rear of the house, a rumpus room, living room and dining room overlooking a large alfresco kitchen and dining area make this house the perfect entertainer. It’s functional, too, with a butler’s pantry, and laundry (with outdoor access) leading off the kitchen. There’s also a mudroom – with bespoke joinery – next to the garage. Upstairs is a mezzanine office area and four bedrooms, including a luxurious main suite with dressing room, ensuite and private balcony. Outdoor areas were important to the owners of this knockdown rebuild. While the house is large at almost 454m2, it fills only half the block. That means there’s a generous backyard. A central courtyard provides further outdoor space. Of course, this courtyard – as well as being a gorgeous focal point – has the added advantage of bringing light into the centre of the house.

Une maison de maître du XIXème, entièrement rénovée, aménagée et décorée pour démarrer une nouvelle vie. Le RDC est repensé avec de nouveaux espaces de vie et une belle cuisine ouverte ainsi qu’un bureau indépendant. Aux étages, six chambres sont aménagées et optimisées avec deux salles de bains très graphiques. Le tout en parfaite harmonie et dans un style naturellement chic.

This living room turned home office was lacking privacy and storage for the homeowner who often works from home. We designed and built a wall of storage incorporating practical hidden storage, including filing drawers, and open shelving to display sentimental and decorative items. We also added cavity sliding doors with frosted glass panels to the entryway which was previously just an opening with no ability to close off the space for privacy and sound reduction. To integrate the sliding doors we built a new wall skin within the room to create the cavity required for the doors to slide away fully into the wall when not in use. The end result is a new pair of sliding doors and entryway which looks like it has always been a part of the home and a beautiful wall of storage which fits seamlessly into this multipurpose room.
