This family home showcases interior designer Cameron Kimber’s knack for blending bowerbird curation, playful colours and lashings of luxury.

Cameron Kimber is an interior designer who lives life in full colour – and he loves to layer art, textures, beautiful wallpaper and fabric prints. Making a bold decorating statement is just another day at the ‘office’ for Cameron, whose design hallmark is taking classic interiors and enlivening them by overlaying a mix-and-match ethos.

Originally, this property was a “very pretty, small three bedroom bungalow”, which was replaced with an entirely new five-bedroom home with a bigger footprint that maximised its harbour views. The project came together through architect Daniel Boddam from The Studio, builder Andrew Severino from M&G Building, and landscape designer Anthony Wyer from Wyer & Co. “We worked very closely and collaboratively,” says Cameron. “It was a fantastic project.” With creative confidence and bold direction front of mind, a couple with three young children put the interiors of their home in Sydney’s eastern suburbs into his hands.
