DRAMA CLASS

Colour, texture and scene-stealing wallpapers are the making of this beautifully renovated 1920s family home in Sydney.

THIS IS THE LIFE

When a home has such an incredible view, it’s all too easy to forget the interiors, says interior designer Brett Mickan. here, colour, texture and artworks help create spaces that are interesting in their own right, preventing the view from dominating. “each room reveals special moments,” says Brett. “It’s lovely to see how the spaces spill out so naturally to the outdoors, but it can also be closed up for a cosy, cocooning home when the weather is dreary.”
