The owners of this 7 year old home, wanted to furnish their empty rooms.

The owners of this 7 year old home, wanted to finally furnish their empty rooms (living, dining, office), replace the tired family room furniture, upgrade the lighting and redo the powder room. They favoured an elegant traditional style with a warm, airy tropical feel. It was important to maximize seating for entertaining, and to incorporate a (very big) grand piano. And it all had to be kid and pet-friendly! Sharyn's inspiration for the colour scheme came from an existing wool area carpet with black, coral, green and sandy beige – the perfect tropical palette! Traditional British colonial style furnishings in dark wood with solid fabrics are the basis for the scheme. The tropical theme was introduced through wallpaper, art and accessories so the décor can be easily changed later.   More Photo Galleries »
