Home Story - Clean Uncluttered Contemporary

Clean and Uncluttered Contemporary in Bristol, Australia

This rennovated home was originally a Victorian, home of Nathan and Danica and their 2 children.  It was a smaller home so the homeowners requested large windows to take advantage of the views outside to make the home appear larger.  

The outside street facing courtyard gives great privacy to the gardens in the front, which is enjoyed by using over sized windows on the project.

Bristol, Australia Rennovation

Lots of whites let the light flow thru from the hallway to the bedroom.

The glass door on the hallway is a great idea to allow maximum light flow.

 Creative kid's rooms are free of everyday clutter and easy for older children to pick up.

More floor to ceiling windows to maximize on natural lighting.

 White walls play a big role in reflecting light.

The home is very tastefully decorated for a young family that loves to entertain.  The designer has used lots of soothing neutrals, and it really allows the art to be on display as the primary interest.

Above:  This room is a great mix of textures and colors.  The base of the room is the natural seagrass rug.  The red ottomans are dimensional art pieces that function as seating.

 How fun are these furry chairs and ottomans?  With lots of precious art around sometimes the room can look too serious, so the addition of whimsical seating brings the formal feeling more in line with a family home.
