Colourful Elegance for New Home in The Gap

Ivy & Finch’s, Bronwyn, lent her talented eye and superb taste to this home’s colourful Brisbane interior to create a forever home for these downsizing clients.

The home was recently constructed, with the client’s having only just finished settling in when they enlisted Ivy + Finch to assist in furnishing their spaces.

Bron, with the help of fellow interior designer Sophie, began the project by identifying the clients style. The team took inspiration from the existing colourful sofas in the formal lounge and the diverse collection of bright Australian art to come up with a concept that fused traditional plantation style with the heart and soul of old Brisbane.

The homeowners already had some lovely furniture pieces that both the designers and their clients were keen to keep in the new interior design. These items included an original singer sowing table, a bone inlay mirror, and a leather ottoman. Fusing these original pieces with new items like the custom-made sofa and armchairs allowed these treasured items to play a role in the contemporary space.

With the wealth of suppliers available to Ivy & Finch, Bron and Sophie were able to customise items to suit the brief of pattern and colour. Reupholstering the dining chairs brought a bright flare to the previously neutral dining space, now anchored with new Bayliss rugs.

The client’s freshly paved outdoor area was finished with a large outdoor dining table, lounge area and round daybed ready for them to entertain the family over the holidays.

With a client hailing from America, Ivy + Finch were given the task to redesign this 80s home with a contemporary take on a traditional American style.

Having now completed the renovation of the bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs, Ivy + Finch and their team of trades are taking on the revamping of the ground floor kitchen, living and dining areas in 2021.
