This art deco family home needed the front living room rethought. How to best layout furniture in the most practical way so the room can be used any time of the day.

Whether it’s basking in the sun in the pretty picture windows or family time together in front of the fireplace, these different uses along with the shape of the room needed to be carefully planned. Over these practical elements, the space needed to feel cohesive and to have a lovely flow.

About the
Professional

We are an interior design and styling consultancy focused on helping people to make their homes beautiful inviting spaces. We work with people to create sanctuaries, the place where they’re comfortable and content, a place to welcome friends and family.

Key elements for a well-resolved interior include how your home feels, looks and is used. Our designing philosophy is to ensure each room is a practical and attractive space that utilises its unique features together with our client’s belongings and style.

Based in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, we work closely with a diverse range of clients to transform houses into beautiful homes. Our clients include architects, builders, owner-builders, renovators and homeowners, and our Design and Styling Menu provide a flexible array of options, from a full design service, or simply to clarify directions and support confident decision making during a potentially difficult time.

For over two decades, Sophie Kost, Director and Lead Designer of My Beautiful Abode has designed and styled interiors across Melbourne and rural Victoria. 

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
