Overlooking Sydney’s Manly Harbour, Delwood House has been reimagined as a calm and enduring retreat. Larissa Leigh Interiors shaped the interiors with a gentle hand, layering light, colour and materiality with restraint. Original elements, including arched thresholds, timber detailing and stained glass, provided architectural rhythm, while curated furnishings introduced presence and ease. The design avoids excess, offering instead a quiet, timeless interior defined by softness, resonance and lasting comfort.
