Eye-catching Colour and Pattern Make an Unforgettable Impression in This Expertly Curated Period Home
THE LOOK OF LUXE
Homeowner Jo called on acclaimed interior designer Greg Natale to revamp the Geelong home she shares with her husband, Tim, and adult children Harrison and Charlotte. The living area (below) is a rhapsody in blue, with Dulux Duck Egg Blue walls and a pair of ‘Giardino Cameron’ chairs from James Said. “In every room the light fittings are a real feature,” says Jo, pointing to the Oly ‘Walt’ chandelier from Coco Republic, which ties in with a saffron-coloured artwork by Jo Davenport. The glamour of gold and brass flows into the formal dining room courtesy of an Arteriors ‘Karrington’ chandelier from Boyd Blue (opposite), Euroluce ‘Atollo’ lamps by Vico Magistretti and Coco Republic ‘Beverly’ dining chairs by Oly. >
The first word people say as they step through the front door of Jo’s Geelong home is usually ‘wow’. “The interior is so unexpected, you see people’s eyes light up with surprise,” she reflects. Indeed, from the street, the home’s pretty 1880s Victorian facade provides no clue as to the striking contrast and drama that lie beyond. Yet, when Jo and her husband, Tim, bought the property, an hour west of Melbourne, their plan was always to transform it into something truly special.
