Our Toorak project is a unified vision, the result of seamless collaboration between clients and designers. Moving away from their previous traditional style home, the homeowners desired a more contemporary look with unexpected pieces. Massimo Interiors offered a spacious feel suitable for hosting large gatherings of family and friends, where the comfortable space allows children to play and people to sit, eat and move around. Care was taken when selecting durable fabrics in order to establish a child-friendly yet sophisticated space. The European oak floorboards offset the predominantly monochromatic colour scheme, creating a light and elegant interior, complemented with the occasional classic piece. The main living area features an extra large floor rug that unifies separate seating areas for different activities. To create balance and drama, Massimo Interiors arranged two large sofas facing each other, separated by two luxurious ottomans. Near the fireplace lies a second seating area designed for reading or relaxing by the warm glow of the fire. The rich layering of different materials such as polished timber, stainless steel, marble, glass, and velvet provided contrast with the pared-back kitchen and dining areas. Accent colour, such as the aubergine fabric of the cut-velvet Louis XV French Bergere lounge chair, complements the colours of the Australian artworks, echoed in the choice of scatter cushions. The dining room boasts two oversized pendant light fittings link to the pattern on the living room ottomans. To add a touch of old-world charm, a striking portrait completes the clean and crisp space. In the master bedroom, a palette of pale gold, burnt orange, turquoise and green inspires the scatter cushions, tying the room together. Hand-blown amber glass table lamps with linen shades, establish an intimate, warm appeal. Every detail, every object and every decoration – from the fabric to the wall colour to the artworks has been curated in details.

“It has been an absolute delight to collaborate with Massimo in transforming our once empty Southbank apartment into a striking and extraordinary living space. Attentive to our design aspirations, Massimo masterfully captured the essence of our vision, which he described as "moody and sexy." Our goal was to evoke the ambiance of a luxurious hotel, and Massimo has undeniably achieved that. Encouraging us to step beyond our comfort zone, Massimo skilfully incorporated design elements we never would have considered. Despite our initial hesitation towards gold and bronze accents, our home now gleams with tasteful shimmer. Massimo also introduced us to an array of exquisite lighting solutions, resulting in the installation of elegant chandeliers and pendant lights in every room. Furthermore, his choice of bold wallpaper patterns, textures, and colours has created a harmonious and visually captivating atmosphere. He even incorporated floor-to-ceiling smoked mirrors on select walls, effectively expanding the sense of space. Throughout the process, Massimo's concept drawings were flawless, while adjustments were handled effortlessly. He demonstrated exceptional coordination with his trusted network of suppliers and subcontractors, ensuring a smooth workflow. As with any project, particularly in the wake of Covid, we faced challenges such as delays, material shortages, budget increases, and supply chain issues. Nevertheless, Massimo tackled each obstacle with patience and proactivity, alleviating our stress by offering practical solutions and maintaining forward momentum. Today, Massimo is a cherished and well-respected figure within our apartment community, and our home is fondly referred to as "oh THAT apartment," a testament to his exceptional work that fills us with immense pride. Massimo is not only an incredibly gifted interior designer but also a consummate professional and engaging collaborator. We are sincerely grateful for the opportunity to have worked with him on our project and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking to elevate their living space into a remarkable and unforgettable home.”
