Simple Pleasures
Long summer afternoons, with that luxurious feeling of having all the time in the world to do anything — or nothing at all.

Seaside Style
An elegant Australian home by the seaside for you today. Located in Mount Martha in Victoria, this classical Georgian house has been given a fresh modern update by interior designer Sally Caroline — perfect for a family with two young children. More here on Yellowtrace.

Seaside Residence was a
partial renovation of a grand Georgian home in the seaside town of
Mount Martha. “Our clients have a young family with 2 boys. An active
life by the coast is ideal for them, and they wanted a home that was
calm, but filled with personality – something young and fresh, that
still honoured the traditional architectural style of their heritage
home,” explains Sally Caroline.
Pursuing a neutral scheme, the designers opened up the living space by
removing the dividing wall between the dining and lounge areas. This
allowed an abundance of light to flood in and connect the two activity
spaces. Vein cut travertine tiled flooring elevates the living space to
signify the division of areas. Existing flooring was refinished with a
lime wash.
The living areas feel calm through simple joinery and soft colour
palette. The rooms are given personality, a casual charisma, through
feature furniture, art, accessories and detailing. Details include pops
of colour in joinery, contrasting hues, and curved edges. The joinery is
simple in form but sculptural.
The kitchen was opened onto the dining room for entertaining and
lightness. Calming finishes of natural stone, white powdercoated metals
and satin 2pac feature throughout. Copper accents were integrated into
the fridge hardware and mixer for a subtle vibrancy that was youthful
like our clients. Shelves are suspended marble, and the island features
white powdercoated legs.
“At the entry, we allowed light to be the hero, featuring bench seating
that complemented the client’s existing artwork. The staircase was
filled to allow a quiet drama in sculptural volumes. We also added a
rounded balustrade with contrast top strapping that reflected the colour
of the door to create a coherent visual language from the entry into
the home.”
