Elsternwick House

Elsternwick House is a stunning transformation that began with simple plans and evolved into a cohesive, vibrant home. Initially, the client’s goals were modest—update a few windows and add some new furniture—but after a spark of inspiration, a complete reimagining of the space was developed. The design draws inspiration from the client’s artwork, creating a rich color palette that flows seamlessly throughout the home.

Key elements of the renovation include custom built-in joinery for the entry hall, sitting room, home office, and living room, providing both style and much-needed storage for this busy family. The original period features were preserved in white, offering a charming contrast to the contemporary updates.

A standout addition is the beautiful tretford rug in the Netley design from the Iluyka Collection by Martin Reid, which ties the interior together, complementing the rich palette and adding warmth to the space.
