“Inspiring, smart and beautifully tailored. We could be talking about the home we crafted or the gorgeous client it’s for. Lilac Linen encapsulates both the fresh seaside ambience of the Mornington Peninsula alongside the unique whims and contemporary living patterns of the young family who live within it … This home expresses itself in tactile layers and a level of restraint that allows the curation of dusky colours, noble materials and beautiful objects to sing in perfect harmony.”

Can minimalism be pretty? Sure can. Lilac Linen by Melbourne-based interior atelier Sally Caroline.

A minimalist house was transformed into a home of many moods through considered changes to the floorplan and a warm, witty material palette. The new owners, returned expats and avid entertainers, engaged Sydney-based Studio Johnston to revamp the interiors with an emphasis on practicality, outdoor connection, and colour. The renovation emphasized the harbour view, improved the first-floor living area and redesigned the kitchen as the home’s centrepiece. Two studies were added, and the ground level was reconfigured as a potential apartment for their son. Studio Johnston used colour, texture, and curved lines to enhance functionality and bring life to the interior.

A calming remodel of a Victorian terrace in Stoke Newington, with a rustic, Italian charm, that is centred around a sociable kitchen and its pantry. Martina and Joe approached us from the outset with the most beautifully laid out briefing document, with a clear direction for the finished aesthetic – textured, rustic, Italian and English combined. On a practical level, the brief was focused on a ground floor extension that could achieve a wider, open and more sociable kitchen to accommodate our clients’ love of social cooking and entertaining. For the loft space, Martina and Joe wanted to convert this space into a calm, main bedroom and ensuite with dressing area, with Italian references like the ground floor. The extension is two peaked volumes that form a stepped plan to respond to the varying lengths of the neighbouring houses.
Oh how I adore this new kitchen, and the simplicity and practicality of the spaces London-based architecture firm Bradley Van Der Straeten re-designed and created in this home.

“With a deep appreciation for design, our clients tasked us with creating a timeless kitchen, finely crafted using quality materials to meet the needs of their young family. Initially presented with a cluttered layout, we worked within the footprint of the existing kitchen to improve the flow and functionality of the space. Repositioning the breakfast nook below the newly exposed round window (previously hidden behind the refrigerator) creates a natural connection between the kitchen and living spaces beyond. A designated appliance area affords a sense of calm in the hub of the kitchen while displaying the client’s impressive ceramic collection. The role of materiality enriches the space, creating a warm and grounded kitchen for our clients to inject their passion for colour, pattern and pre-loved items.”

In Crouch End, North London, a young family sought help to enhance their home’s functionality and add colour and warmth. Laura Stephens Interiors redesigned the open-plan ground floor, transforming the middle room with a wood-burning stove, armchairs, a rug, and a warm paint scheme. The adjacent kitchen’s new paint scheme added warmth and character. Large glazed doors in cerulean blue brightened the hallway. Upstairs, the master bedroom featured soft blue and pink tones, luxurious furnishings, and unique repurposed antiques. The family living area and cinema room were made both practical and sophisticated.
