Sacred Space

In an idyllic pocket of western australia, an old shack serves as a reminder of times gone by

RUSTIC TOUCHES Homeowner Sarah’s sitting room is a tactile smorgasbord of textures – sheer bronze drapes that float in the breeze, a custom-built bench seat piled with plump velvet pillows and pure linen sheets from In The Sac, pre-loved stools re-covered with tapestry fabric and a woven floor rug from Ikea.

SIMPLE SPREAD In the kitchen, a tantalising selection is served up on a marble board with Pallares Solsona knives (opposite). “My cooking never goes much past some cheese and fruit,” Sarah admits.
