Doesn’t every home need a little green room? This pint sized space packs a punch with a deep green colour drenching, some fun vintage and customised furnishings, and a lush velvet curtain. It’s the perfect spot to zone out and watch a flick.

Autumnal House Dining
As seen in Mag #3.
Spotted gum,, red brick and slubby linens. The focal point of this space is the dining table from customised to this earthy green. The table breaks up some of the warmer tones and provides a visual connection to the emerging garden beyond.

COLOUR AT OUR AUTUMNAL HOUSE
What love about this space is how the colours change throughout the day in different lights, and how beautifully they complement both the natural materials and all our furniture choices. Every room feels intentional and cohesive, yet each SPACE has its own personality.
This is what happens when you take time with colour selection - it’s not just about the walls, it’s about creating a whole experience.
The way everything flows together now... this is exactly why I’m so passionate about thoughtful colour choices!
There’s a full list of all the colours is below.
Which space speaks to you most? I’d love to know!
Dulux Kaluah Milk
Dulux Treetop Walk
Dulux Warm Neutral
Dulux Clay Model

Spotted gum, pink travertine and Japanese tiles providing the hard material goodness. We gave inspo images of a shelving unit by Gio Pontebto and they gave us an authentic Australian take on a classic form. It’s a key feature to the home separating kitchen and dining (and gives me a chance to do some irksome shelfie moments). Glorious!

The materiality and colour for this room was inspired by the turning of the seasons from Summer to Autumn. Days are still warm and long, but the nights have a chill. The leaves are draining out the green to expose earthy yellows, warm browns and hot pinks.
It’s such a thrill to see these images in the pages of a real life magazine. Many thanks for for having me and allowing me to share these gorgeous images captured by and styled by .design.
I’ll be sharing more about materials and finishes over the coming weeks, DM me if you can’t wait and need to know about something specific. 🍂✌️
