BLUE SKIES

FRAMED BY ITS PICTURESQUE LOCATION, THIS COASTAL RETREAT IN VICTORIA IS THE IDEAL ESCAPE FOR ITS DESIGNER OWNER AND HER FAMILY

- JACKIE BRYGEL

COASTAL CHARM With its beautifully reimagined rooms, the holiday home of interior designer and decorator Belinda speaks clearly of her style mantra. “I wanted to bring a sense of relaxation to the house,” she says. The living area is highlighted by a soft and serene palette. “I love the outlook from here,” says Belinda. “It’s a lovely spot to relax.” A custom-made modular sofa from Furniture Inspirations gets extra snuggle-up appeal with cushions from Walter G and a throw from Bed Bath N’ Table. The ‘Sloan Tri Marble’ coffee table is by Globe West, and the blinds and curtains throughout were made by BQ Design. For a similar Hamptons-style display cabinet, try Wholesales Direct. An entertaining deck overlooks the garden (opposite), with chairs from Globe West, Luigi Bormioli glasses from David Jones and napkins from Myer and Linen Moore. Get the look of a farmhouse-style dining table from Eureka Street Furniture.
