This project in Sydney’s Vaucluse saw an outdated home transformed into an impressive Hamptons-style property.
Timeless and elegant finishes were selected for the large entertaining areas. Carrara marble, brass hardware, solid cedar doors and sandstone and limestone elements create a rich, natural feel, offset by a delicate colour palette and fine interior details. Solid timber flooring and wainscoting add a touch of heritage charm.
In the more intimate spaces, the client embraced the expressive power of colour. Carefully curated wallpapers create a rich tapestry in the bathrooms and transition areas and interplay with prestige light fittings sourced from America.
“This was an exciting opportunity to reinvent the architecturally dated house into a breathtaking Hamptons-style manor,” says Mina.
“A sophisticated palette was used to transform this property into a timeless family home. My favourite space is the master ensuite, where we used Schumacher egret French blue wallpaper and included a generous bath, twin showers and custom vanities.”
