THE HOME

Exclusive home, Mt Eden, Ketiesha & Frank Elliot, family of four.

THE BRIEF

Update the interiors, from living spaces to bedrooms and outdoor living.

WHAT WE DID

This family home exuded a delightful sense of playfulness, perfectly mirroring the personality and style of our client. We extended this theme throughout the entire house, fearlessly embracing vibrant colours and bold patterns.

To imbue the residence with a touch of uniqueness and top-notch quality, we embarked on a journey of crafting custom-made furniture and decor pieces.

One of the highlights of this project was the creation of a dedicated “happy hour room” designed for cocktail parties and pure enjoyment. At its heart, a spectacular marble round table was encircled by sumptuous velvet chairs, elegantly placed on a luxurious gold rug. Adjacent to this setup, we introduced an indispensable cocktail cabinet.

In the cozy lounge area, we blended functionality with aesthetics by adding a versatile coffee table/ottoman. The space came to life with the introduction of new soft furnishings and ambient lamps, infusing a burst of stunning colours.

The capacious open-plan living area offered ample room for both dining and relaxation, with all furniture custom-crafted to allow for creative mixing and matching. This flexibility catered to the client’s penchant for rearranging furniture for different looks.

The master bedroom received a complete transformation, boasting a magnificent custom-made bed, and uniquely designed bedside tables with intricate etchings to harmonize with the exquisite Jim Thompson drapes. The addition of custom tallboys added the finishing touch.

Outside, we unleashed a riot of colour and pattern, using Coast’s heavenly bean bags customized with our unique fabric. These were complemented by a striped velvet outdoor bench seat, proving that outdoor velvet is indeed a reality. The outdoor space was further enhanced with comfortable couches, a new umbrella, and the striking pink Jardin coffee table, culminating in a vibrant and inviting outdoor oasis.

The outcome is a refined yet welcoming home that excels in hosting and is adored by the entire family.


“What can I say… I LOVE working with Erina!  Her sense of style and fun coupled with her desire to get down to the nitty gritty of what we are looking to achieve for our home, takes her absolutely to the next level. She embraces working with what we already have, loves to ‘upcycle’ the unloved, and once the brief has been fully absorbed she offers up fabulous options, and at different price points. She has taken the spaces she has worked on thus far from ‘blah’ to ‘holy moly’ and I cannot wait to get her involved with our next space that needs her magic. Thank you Erina…you are a breath of fresh air with your flair and talent.  We love how you have made our home sing.  XX”
