We've been quietly working on something big. Our Kangaroo Valley project is an extensive home spanning an original cottage plus a new addition, and these selections are a glimpse of where it's headed. We'll be sharing more of this one as it comes to life.

RAINBOW CONNECTION | The fabulous Kabuki lamp by Kartell was already a feature of our client's bedroom, so we layered in colour and pattern to bring the same energy as the rest of the home.

We spent a few crazy days at Melbourne Design Week and came back with a lot of opinions about chairs!

100 Chairs was just one of the highlights, celebrating the work of Australian creatives exploring the chair as a medium. So much talent, so much creativity, and so many that we wanted to bring back with us.

RAINBOW CONNECTION | When your client collects with this much passion and personality, every decision has to rise to meet it.

All white joinery would have faded into the background, so we introduced a bold Milton and King wallpaper. The playful stripes gave the joinery a whole new energy, turning a functional storage wall into something that complements and elevates the collection it holds.

Our client's kitchen is narrow and functional, but it needed a moment. Enter the lemon cabinet. Zesty and bold, it brought colour and personality to the galley space while creating the perfect platform for collected pieces and an anchor for the art above.

Every project is a collaboration, and the best outcomes are when our clients feel truly heard.⁠

"Josie was fabulous to work with. She understood exactly what I wanted and made it better. She moved at my pace and always kept me updated on progress.⁠ I absolutely love the results. I open my front door and immediately feel happy." - Jane⁠

RAINBOW CONNECTION | A home this rich with colour and personality called for some strong anchor points. ⁠

The rug became a key design decision and we chose one that layers pattern and colour to pull every element in the room together. After we reupholstered the Kartell armchairs in lush, bold fabric they were given new life as statement pieces to hold their own among it all. ⁠

RAINBOW CONNECTION | Interiors don't need rule books. This is what happens when a home is built around a life well collected. Art, sculpture, ceramics, resin objects, Kartell pieces. Every corner tells the story of a client who collects with curiosity and passion.

Our role was to honour that, to find the thread that runs through it all and weave it into something cohesive and personal. The design has nothing to do with matching and everything to do with meaning.

RAINBOW CONNECTION⁠ | Working with our client's existing wallpaper as the foundation, we created a bedroom that's layered and full of life. ⁠

A fuchsia bedhead brings boldness and warmth, its more traditional fabric pattern in quiet conversation with the wall behind it. The Kartell pendant keeps the tone playful and the bedlinen adds more colour, more pattern, and more joy. Because in this home, more is always more. ⁠
