MODERN RUSTIC WITH ECLECTIC CHARM

This interior design project set out to create a home filled with warmth, character, and a strong sense of personal identity. From the beginning, it was important that the space reflected the clients’ everyday life and the things they love. Their collection of family photography, gathered over many years, became a guiding thread throughout the home. These images—rich with memory and personality—were carefully placed to bring intimacy to each room and to ensure the house truly tells their story.

We also incorporated a number of treasured antiques, restoring and reworking them where needed so they could sit comfortably alongside more contemporary elements. This blend of old and new adds depth and texture to the design; the timeless quality of the antiques grounds the scheme, while modern features bring freshness and practicality.

Warm materials, natural finishes, and a rich, earthy palette help create an inviting atmosphere, from the brick and timber details in the kitchen to the layered textiles and soft, cocooning colours in the living spaces. Every decision was made to make the home feel lived-in, welcoming, and deeply comfortable—somewhere the family can relax, host, and grow.

The result is a thoughtfully curated home that balances functionality with authenticity, celebrating both the beauty of craftsmanship and the emotional resonance of personal belongings.
