Blessed with a direct oceanside our client wanted to create a home with a primary focus being the stunning view. Given that the property is a traditional, weatherboard beach house, we opted for a boho, laidback vibe. We sanded back the original internal orange floorboards, the house was painted top to bottom and we refurbished the primary bathroom. The kitchen cabinet doors, solid timber doors in good condition, were simply revitalised with a lick of paint and a hardware change. The interior embrace the beach vernacular aesthetic, hence a neutral palette of grey, white and light browns with touches of blue. We sourced most of the furniture items from local artisans with priority given to the products that were “beach rated” and salt tolerant.

About the
Professional
Jacque Yates has forged an interior design career deeply influenced by her own lived experiences and dedication to crafting meaningful and functional environments for her clients.
Colour has always been a fundamental focal point for Jacque, an area in which she possesses innate flair for creating intentional and unexpected clashes of hue, texture and pattern.
With an early career in the field of calligraphy and ceramics, Jacque developed an early passion for form and detail. During a 7 year stint in New York, she immersed herself in an intense period of study at the world renowned Parsons School of Design and The New School, ultimately shifting her creative focus to interior decorating and design. Inspired by the dynamic use of colour in her own New York home, Jacque’s friends began to commission her to re-imagine their own residences.
There is an undeniable resonance in the studio’s work that combines Jacque’s innate desire to connect with her clients, to infuse their homes with narrative and soul and to have fun in the process.
Propelled by her early success in New York, Jacque embarked on the significant renovation of her own Queen Anne home upon her return to Sydney and later another home in Melbourne; garnering significant experience in all aspects of the design and construction process. After completing multiple diplomas at International School of Colour & Design (ISCD), Jacque founded Three Little Pigs Colour & Design in 2005.
She is also an ardent supporter of Australian designers and suppliers, a priority that is evident in all aspects of her work. Having recently added a Certificate IV in Kitchen and Bathroom Design to her academic résumé, Jacque is also armed with comprehensive, technical know-how. As a result, her portfolio of work transcends mere trends, ensuring that each project is as practical as it is visually alluring.
