The Melbourne home of Leon, an architect, and Caroline, who runs her own ballet school, and their two children features a perfect blend of aesthetics, while Caroline loves vintage charm, Leon adores anything modern, hence the Barcelona Chair and Corb's chaise.
An adobe-rendered exterior works as a muted backdrop, allowing the Art Nouveau doors - imported from France and purchased from Zacher Antiques in Albert Park, Victoria - to become a focal point outside the master bedroom.
Adhering to the home's timeless style, the study is adorned with furniture and pieces the couple have accrued over the years, including an antique side table, a quirky vase and an unusual carved timber coffee table shaped to look like a stack of giant vintage tomes. To avoid any sense of austerity, the colour scheme brings warmth to the room, with timber flooring a customised walnut stain, walls in Wattyl Porcelain and forest green as accents. The fireplace is an origianl, with an insert that looks as if it's been there for decades - but it's a reproduction, a great money-saving option. The final touch is a shag rug in 'Spider' is from Hali in Richmond.
