Colour and art and a timeless mix of traditional and contemporary elements. That’s the key to this Glen Iris residence by Melbourne-based Sarah McPhee. Whether the walls are green or blue or white the rooms are vibrant and inviting, the art centre place.

The south London home of designer Octavia Dickinson and her family is full of life. Lots of lively colours, patterns, artwork and antiques make this home bright, invigorating and casually comfortable. (Photos: Paul Massey & Harry Crowder)

Warmth and charm were infused into this 1790’s farm by clearly defining the personality of every room – yet having small moments of connection to make the home feel complete. We worked with the home’s existing floor plan to maintain the historical character and updated all the finishes, paint colors and furnishings so it’s liveable but not too precious.
This is how you pay homage to the history of a home. With charm and comfort oozing from every corner. Another project designed by Washington based Cameron Ruppert. Photographer: Stacy Zarin Goldberg. (Link here in case you missed my feature last week of a much bolder but equally charming home)

“Each room evokes a feeling of a detailed collector – through vintage rugs, antique furniture, decorative objects and, of course, art. The entirety of space is elevated, interesting and also comfortable. This house is a true color story that ebbs and flows with a harmonious blend of quiet and bold moments, casual spaces and also subtle notes of formality. The end result is an unexpected, complex and layered home, much like the art it is serving to frame.”

The family home of the founder of Framebridge by  Zoë Feldman Design not only showcases the art (in Framebridge frames of course) but the marriage of old and new resulting in stylish modern living with more than a touch of fun.
