"A timeless interpretation of tailored East Coast Hamptons style in a unique Australian waterfront setting. Hardwood floors, bespoke joinery and custom upholstery combine in elegant, understated luxury. A considered palette of textured neutrals and nautically inspired stripes, natural timbers and wicker complement the client’s own collection of vintage carpets." Presented with a blank slate, our brief was to furnish and finish the project’s interiors to deliver a comfortable, elegant family home. Practical design solutions were inherent to the project such as a mud room created in the lower level stair landing and banquet storage for water sports equipment, reef shoes and sun hats adjacent to the newly created rock pool direct access. An edited curation of custom furniture and bespoke, made to measure soft furnishings imbue this project with a unique, tailored interior reflective of its exceptional waterfront setting and clients’ classic style.

“I enjoyed a wonderful collaboration with Kate Nixon, reimagining the interior of our Federation-style home. Kate has a lovely, classical design sensibility and I loved that she is the elegant representative for the Italian fabric house Busatti, set in the town of Anghiari, Tuscany. She intuitively understands creating a sense of understated luxury and glamour in interiors and has designed beautiful living spaces for our home in a subtle palette which brings in touches of vivid orange. She is aware of my interest in fashion and travel that is part of my background as a former senior editor for Vogue Living and Vogue Entertaining + Travel, which continues on with our family travels. Hence, the informal living area with its bookshelves stacked with books and magazines, creamy white linen Busatti curtains which open to reveal the garden, kitchen adjoining detailed in white carrara marble, and bathroom lined with white mosaic tiles which reference favourite places such as Italy, France and Africa.”
