Tell us a bit about yourself.
Hello there! We are Matthew and Cherie, both in our 30s, and we are blessed with a lovely daughter. Matthew works in the media production industry and I am in the social service space, specialising in disability work. We have been living in our home for the past 3 years now and I must say we are total homebodies!
What initial vision or goals did you have for your family home, and how did you come to agree on them?
From the get-go, we had many open conversations of what we envisioned our space to be and what would turn our house into a home. From there, we developed a clear idea of what our space would embody - a sanctuary where we could unwind and spend lots of quality time together. We aimed for a timeless design that could take us through different life stages.
How did you ensure the home design catered to both the adults’ and child(ren)’s needs? Can you share how you balanced practicality with aesthetics?
