The photos below are from a beautiful 1940's Post War home refresh in Moorooka. Our clients wanted every aspect of this historic home to be carefully designed and maintained and to nod to their south African heritage. We paid attention to preserving the original windows, woodwork, and decorative plaster, while also selecting fresh paint, furniture, wallpaper, and fabrics that bring out a nostalgic feel.

From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by a warm, inviting ambiance that sets the tone for the entire home. The living room features a classic colour palette of warm umbers, deep greens golds and neutrals, with both a mix of modern and traditional furniture. We chose a stunning curved sofa for a contemporary feel, while our clients existing artwork on the walls adds a pop of colour and personality.

Our most favourite feature in this home is the nook we created in an unused space off the living room. It is a great example of how to incorporate contemporary design elements while still honouring the traditional feel of the space and making a tired corner - completely transform before our eyes.

Our goal was to create a space that not only looks stunning but also reflects the clients' taste and respects the house's history.
