A Stylish Casual Home in the Australian Bush - Glenorie

Interior Design and Decorating Project | Glenorie, Hills District Sydney

My Decorator had the absolute pleasure of assisting our client with the interior design of their beautiful home that is nestled in the countryside bush setting in Glenorie, Sydney.

Interior Design Brief and Planning

Featuring their Formal Lounge, the brief was to create a room where our clients could relax as a family and also entertain when guests visited.  We began with a consultation and commenced with the design package option, taking the time to carefully design the space to meet our clients brief.

Design Solutions and Styling

The formal lounge looks onto their large backyard that then backs onto bushland, so I recommended that the room be designed to compliment the natural outlook rather then contrast it. A neutral colour palette was chosen of beige, ivory, grey, light blue and dark cream.

The interior style we recommended was transitional, which is a classic and contemporary blend. The finishes used varied from hard to soft such as stone, timber, linen, soft throws and cushions and touches of whicker.

 

A timeless neutral linen upholstered lounge was chosen with a light ivory coordinating contrast piping that echoed the accent chair colour. These were sitting on a soft underfoot, intricately designed traditional inspired floor rug in the chosen colour palette.

The client already owned a stone top, timber leg bar table that she was hoping to use in her home. Upon my recommendation we cut the legs down to coffee table height and the table became the feature point in this formal lounge, providing opportunities for users to pop their drinks, snacks, play boardgames etc…. making this space incredibly functional and stylish at the same time.

 Built in custom designed cabinetry with a mix of open and closed shelving was installed adjacent to the window. This provided ample storage for my clients items, giving an opportunity for displaying meaningful decor pieces and also provided space for a custom built in bar area for the serving of cocktails and other beverages.

 

Custom made Curtains were installed on the large window and were designed to stack back onto the wall, allowing for plenty of light to come into the room. The Curtains when closed provide fabulous insulation both in winter and summer, making the room even more comfortable. The fabric chosen for the Curtains were a linen look fabric that drape beautifully adding a lot of relaxed elevated style to the room.

The room was styled with plush, soft scatter cushions that pick up the colours from the rug and art. Decor items such as plants in stone pots, books curated on trays, timeless boardgames such as checkers and naughts and crosses are on hand ready to be enjoyed. The built in cabinetry was styled to display our clients personal decor items and other meaningful pieces were added in to fill the unit out more.

 

Overall the home has a relaxed yet stylish look and my client was really happy with the result.

"It was an absolute delight to work with Prue on designing the interior and outside entertainment area of our home. From the moment we met, she was engaging, flexible, listened to our specific requirements and gave everything of herself to create beautiful and practical designs for my family. Her designs were detailed and gave us a real sense of what the outcome would be. The process was also really great - we loved the shopping sessions - what we did in 2 days would have take us years! Prue was so organised and had pre planned viewing of everything so we really only had to choose the short listed items. It was great fun and such an easy way (for us) to make our home wonderful. Prue communicated clearly and consistently throughout the process and was always willing to help with everything and anything. We had challenges during covid will delivery, but Prue was there to help us through these and always had an idea of what we would do in the interim. I cannot thank Prue enough. The whole process was a pleasure and the outcome is fantastic. I highly recommend Prue - you will not be disappointed - my expectations were exceeded.".
