“This room has real warmth,” says Sarah Davison of Ara Design Studio, who championed the refit of this 1920s home in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. Sarah’s use of relaxing rust-coloured tones and daring contemporary features, combined with a dash of artistic brilliance, have brought personality and timeless elegance into the 4.5x5m space.
The Brief was to bring a tired Art-Deco apartment into the 21st century. The owner sought to introduce an air of sophistication into her home while maintaining the original high ceilings and ornate mouldings. She also wanted a room that would showcase her passion for art and antiques. “The challenge was to make the apartment comfortable and up to date,” says Sarah. The wall between the kitchen and adjoining living room was removed to create a larger open-plan space. Then modern pieces, such as the Bertoia chair and Minotti chrome coffee table were chosen to complement the antiques. “It needed to feel timeless because the owner plans to live here for the rest of her life,” she says.
The cosy yet stylish ambience is the result of layering warm colours and contrasting textures to build up the richness and personality in the room. Sarah says the glowing allure of the brown leather Art-Deco armchair bought from The Country Trader was key to establishing the mood. Other luxe touches include the deep low-backed sofa, upholstered in a gentle grey linen, and plump cushions.
