A MAJOR OVERHAUL OF THEIR FAMILY HOME IN BRISBANE CREATED SPACE AND HARMONY FOR A COUPLE AND THEIR FIVE CHILDREN

LIVING LARGE

The birth of their fifth child prompted Queensland couple Victoria and Steve to embark on a major revamp of their Brisbane home to create a welcoming abode for the entire family. In the serene living area on the central level (below), the Armadillo & Co ‘Agra’ rug anchors a pair of Jardan ‘Nook’ sofas and velvet ottomans, while a custom window seat by Berkeley Interiors, below Gabi Lee’s ‘Pastel Horses’ from Otomys, is an invitation to curl up with a book. Victoria (pictured with daughter Gabriella) is thrilled with the changes. “The old living area had no storage – now we’ve got great custom joinery so I can hide away clutter and display a few pretty things,” she says, of the shelves (below & opposite) showcasing vases and a candelabra from Cult Design.

KITCHEN

“I wanted to maximize storage space and I love white kitchens,” says Victoria of her brief to interior designer Gabrielle Reinhardt. Well equipped to cater for a crowd, the kitchen features Shaker-style (and appliance-concealing) cabinetry in Dulux White On White and a generous central island (below), spotlit by a trio of Bestlite ‘BL9’ pendant lights from Cult Design and framed by super chic Muuto ‘Nerd’ bar stools from Living Edge. Since this zone is ‘snack central’ (as Steve and youngest child Tom demonstrate, opposite top), the benchtops and splashbacks are in Smartstone Statuario Venato – a more practical choice than natural marble. “It looks like the real thing, but I don’t have to worry about staining from beetroot or wine,” explains Victoria.
