When one Australian family decided to tackle an extensive renovation of their Victorian homestead, in the Grampians region, western Victoria, they knew exactly which interior designer to call upon. Having spent her childhood on a similar working cattle station in New South Wales, Adelaide Bragg instinctively understood the need for an interior that would be both practical yet warm and welcoming. Her intuition for a fine balance between functionality and a natural, earthy elegance would ensure the redecorated interior struck the perfect chord.
With children and grandchildren visiting regularly, newly reconfigured family spaces with an emphasis on functionality were key. An extension containing a large kitchen and sitting room was joined seamlessly to the house. ‘The old house had strong bones, but was tired and had been broken into many rooms that needed more living space and more light. In its previous manifestation, you would enter the house and walk past all the bedrooms so this was flipped over, making the back of the house the front entrance and creating a new driveway,’ Adelaide explains.
