Embracing Their Latest Life Chapter While Expressing Their Appreciation of a Moody Palette Has Been a Joy for the Owners of This Melbourne Home

WINTER WONDER

The design of Michelle and Simon’s home in Melbourne’s inner south-east pays close attention to its beautiful surrounds. Large windows frame serene treetop vistas, while punches of colour are juxtaposed against walls coated in the deep mystery of Haymes Polar Bear 7. The result is a living room – and home – that says ‘Welcome’. “The tones are very soothing,” says Michelle. “After a long day, you walk back in and say, ‘Isn’t it lovely to be home?’ ” Two of Michelle’s favourite pieces are the Versa beanbag tables from Ambient Lounge and the Latitude sofa from Bay Leather Republic, layered with a floral Bonnie And Neil cushion from Rigby’s Homewares and a round Kip & Co ‘Pea’ cushion.

HALLWAY

Michelle has expertly set the scene in the entryway for a home infused with drama. Elegance tiles from Martinengo Tiles are a hardy and smart choice for the high-traffic area, while timber accents come courtesy of the open-tread stairs, Marz Designs ‘Art’ pendants and the Industrial Revolution bench. “I wanted this to be a beautiful welcoming space,” says Michelle, who snapped up the gorgeous woodcut bird prints (opposite), by Chilean artist Constanza Macchiavello, online. The striped African tribal basket was found at Rigby’s Homewares.
