GREEN AND SERENE When homeowners Amber and Matt moved from Sydney to the Noosa hinterland with daughters Amelie and Alessandra, this property gave them a tree-and-sea change rolled into one. Sticking to a timeless monochrome palette, the refreshed look features classic pieces such as this ‘Plantation’ sofa (above) from Eclectic Style, topped with cushions from The Alfresco Room and H&M, where pooches Willow (left) and Ruby love to sit. In the reading area (opposite), assorted pieces and textural layers include a Matt Blatt dining table, chairs from Provincial Home Living, coral from Coastal Vintage and a woven wall hanging from Marmoset Found. The silver drum is from Orson & Blake and the black pendant light was sourced from Eclectic Style.
Stylist Amber Keller admits she’s a city girl at heart, yet the allure of Queensland’s Sunshine Coast prompted her and her family to leave the hustle and bustle of Sydney for a more laid-back pace closer to the beach. “We’d come every summer to visit my husband Matt’s relatives, who live at nearby Sunshine Beach, with our girls, Amelie and Alessandra, and each trip we’d want to stay longer,” says Amber. “We just loved it so much.”
Four years ago, they made the permanent sea change and snapped up a little beach house – yet before long another move was on the cards after they discovered the hinterland. “We didn’t know much about the area when we moved here, but on weekend drives to the Eumundi Markets we started exploring a few pockets,” says Amber. “We found this whole other world, with homes among trees on acreage and with incredible views, not far from Noosa’s main beach. It was magical.”
