Albany House by Sydney-based Carla Barton blends old-world charm with modern living for a young family. The restoration introduces bold black, white, and gold accents, creating a youthful vibe. A clear distinction between the original terrace and the new rear extension is emphasized, while eclectic pieces connect the two styles. Meticulous restoration preserved Victorian elements like skirtings, architraves, wall mouldings, and cornices, achieving a look honouring the home’s original aesthetic.

Bespoke cabinetry maximizes space with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, nursery shelves, and bedroom wardrobes. The full renovation of this compact Victorian house revealed stunning period details by removing false walls and boxed-in fireplaces. Precision planning included new electrics, plumbing, and fixtures, creating a cohesive layout that reflects the owners’ personalities. The Victorian Renovation by Emily Dobbs Interiors.

The complete renovation of a two up two down derelict cottage, featuring a back extension that doubled the footprint of the property and introduced a generous master suite as well as a large open plan living area and kitchen complete with island. The extension required extensive groundworks and a large retaining wall to be built 4m below ground level. This created a dual level aspect between the old cottage and the new extension, separating the dining area in the old cottage from the kitchen in the extension with wall to wall steps. Due to the fortified wall being below ground level and having no windows, 3 large crittal doors were installed on the opposite wall that open out onto the sunken terrace, flooding the open plan living and kitchen with light and bringing the outside in.

Very much neutral and I find myself dying for a bit more colour and pattern in this home but I know neutrals can also sing its own song of calm and soothing peacefulness and it’s such a beautiful renovation that I had to share.

A contemporary family home, hidden behind a traditional facade, integrates seamlessly into the streetscape. Angular skylights and custom windows illuminate the interior and frame garden views. A small courtyard enhances the living and dining areas, fostering indoor-outdoor connections. Earthy, botanical tones unify the space, turning garden views into vivid artworks.
