Our clients had recently downsized to this mid-century harbourside beauty when they reached out to us to help it function better while honouring its unique architecture. Coming from a larger, older house, they wanted to bring in colour and personality without overshadowing the home’s unique architectural features.
To bring this to life, we drew inspiration from the existing architecture and the surrounding landscape, creating a palette of blues, greens, lilacs, and pinks. We also wanted to make the home feel warm, welcoming, and fun for family gatherings.
Starting by producing furniture plans to maximise the unusual layout, we then went about selecting all new furniture, lighting, and finishes, including a number of custom pieces — the shelving by the fireplace and bespoke wall paneling and the walnut buffet in the dining room.
The clients said: “We are so happy with the result that the team at Vellum achieved. Our ‘mid-century’ house is now such a warm, inviting, light and fun home that feels just right!”
